Case Study: Vivo Energy achieves a simplified IT landscape and faster growth with SAP SuccessFactors

Removing IT Landscape Complexity to Support Growth with SAP S/4HANA

Vivo Energy, the pan‑African fuel retailer operating 2,100 service stations across 23 countries, faced increasing IT complexity after rapid growth—duplicate datasets, fragmented workflows, and limited operational visibility. To simplify its landscape and establish a single data platform, the company moved from Oracle JDE World to SAP S/4HANA and linked cloud solutions including SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Integrated Business Planning, with IBM Services supporting the conversion.

By deploying SAP S/4HANA and cloud apps such as SAP SuccessFactors, Vivo Energy created a single digital core with centralized master‑data governance and modern SAP Fiori UX; the big‑bang rollout enabled more than 40 application components across two countries and was delivered on time and on budget. The result is a single source of truth, improved data quality, real‑time analytics, streamlined logistics/HR/sales processes, and automated administrative tasks that reduce data‑entry errors and accelerate time to value for new initiatives.
