Case Study: Seegene achieves centralized global cost management and a 63% reduction in cost-related work hours with SAP Concur

Seegene centralizes global cost management with SAP Concur

Seegene, a Seoul‑based molecular diagnostics company with multiple overseas corporations, faced a surge in demand and rapid growth during the COVID‑19 pandemic that strained logistics, staffing, and finances. Small overseas offices lacked the resources and manual processes to monitor and review expenses, so the company needed a centralized, system‑based way to manage global costs and integrate expense data with its ERP.

Seegene implemented a Global Single Instance approach and rolled out SAP Concur Expense and Concur Travel—starting with the U.S. and Italy and integrating with its existing ERP—to automate expense processing, approvals, and compliance monitoring. The change reduced cost‑related work hours by 63% (from 8 hours to 3), cut IT and operational costs, sped up closings and approvals, and freed sales and accounting teams to focus on core work while improving global visibility for faster decision‑making.
