Case Study: Zymeworks achieves streamlined, automated business processes with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition

Zymeworks Integrating and Modernizing Processes with Robust, Automated Solution

Zymeworks, a Vancouver-based biopharmaceutical company focused on cancer and other serious diseases, was struggling with decades-old manual processes across HR, finance, supply chain, and procurement. The company needed a more user-friendly, automated approach to replace siloed data, improve visibility, and support future growth, and it chose SAP’s RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition.

SAP implemented a fully integrated solution that standardized workflows, created a single source of truth, and automated key processes such as invoice routing, vendor self-service, and supplier payments. The results included 70% fewer HR touchpoints, 90% less vendor interaction for invoice processing, 50% less time to produce annual operating plans, and 80% less time spent on month-end bookkeeping.
