Case Study: Yancoal achieves 20% operational efficiency and dramatically faster reporting with SAP Signavio Process Insights

Bringing the vision of future intelligent mining enterprise to life

Yancoal Australia, a leading seaborne coal producer operating nine mines across New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia with 4,500 employees and A$5.4 billion in revenue, set out to become a future intelligent mining enterprise. Its decade‑old SAP ECC platform constrained innovation, user experience, cost efficiency and visibility across operations, supply chain and long‑term profitability, creating the need for a modern, agile digital core.

Yancoal deployed RISE with SAP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud (private) alongside SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Business Technology Platform and SAP Signavio, working with SAP Cloud Success Services, Deloitte and ASG to standardize processes, enable real‑time analytics and automate IT operations. The transformation delivered a 20% operational/productivity improvement over five years, cut corporate reporting time from 25 to 2 minutes, improved group reporting and decision support, simplified the user experience and reduced total cost of ownership.
