Case Study: Koza Gold Operations Company achieves 10% procurement cost savings and faster, real-time operations with SAP Ariba

Koza Gold Operations Company - Customer Case Study

Koza Altın İşletmeleri A.Ş. is a leading Turkish gold‑mining company operating multiple sites across Turkey and was the first domestic company to realize commercial gold production. After years on SAP R/3 ECC, the company faced mounting pressure from technological change, fragmented systems and master data issues, and user resistance—forcing a move to a modern ERP to maintain competitiveness and improve process control.

Koza completed a one‑year transformation to SAP S/4HANA (on‑premise) with modules across PM, PP, HR, CO, FM and FI plus SAP Ariba Sourcing & Contracts and SAP Analytics Cloud, going live 01.01.2024 for 660 users. The rollout delivered real‑time analytics, unified data flows, stronger security and easier scalability, roughly doubling operational efficiency, cutting procurement costs by ~10%, improving logistics performance by ~20%, accelerating tender cycles from weeks to days and significantly reducing manual work and paper.
