Case Study: Sappi achieves streamlined finance, real-time reporting, and faster decision-making with SAP HANA (SAP S/4HANA Finance)

How Do You Build a Finance System for the Enterprise of the Future

Sappi, a global mill-products company supplying dissolving wood pulp and specialty papers, needed to modernize its finance landscape to support future growth. The IT group sought to replace aging point solutions, improve reporting and transparency across functions, and prepare for a full SAP S/4HANA roll‑out to create a single source of truth for finance.

Working with SAP Digital Business Services, Sappi implemented SAP S/4HANA Finance with SAP Fiori mobile apps and premium engagement services. The project delivered enriched, real‑time reporting, virtually eliminated manual reconciliations, and improved decision‑making through a unified data model, plus training and on‑demand support—resulting in faster closes, flexible analytics, clearer financial governance, and a successful go‑live.
