Case Study: Veolia Australia and New Zealand achieves standardized finance and procurement and increased efficiency with SAP HANA

Enabling Efficiency with SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management

Veolia Australia and New Zealand, a utilities and environmental services provider serving nearly 4 million people and tens of thousands of customers across water, waste, and energy, faced fragmentation from three separate finance and procurement systems covering 123 water/wastewater plants and 120+ waste sites. The company needed to standardize and simplify processes to improve consistency, reduce complexity, and support future growth.

Veolia implemented SAP S/4HANA Enterprise Management with SAP MaxAttention and IBM support to create a single shared finance platform, consolidate procurement, and introduce disciplined, transparent data and role standards. Delivered in nine months on time and within budget, the rollout increased efficiency, lowered ongoing support costs, improved visibility into costs and materials, freed staff to focus on core work, and established a scalable digital core for further expansion and automation.
