Case Study: George Weston Foods Limited unlocks working capital and process transparency with SAP Signavio

George Weston Foods Limited releases A$850,000 in 12 weeks with SAP Signavio

George Weston Foods Limited (GWF), a major Australian and New Zealand food manufacturer, faced a fragmented and manual procurement reconciliation process that lacked transparency. As a first step in a broader transformation journey, the company sought to bring accountability and insight to this process to unlock working capital and prepare for a future ERP migration. To achieve this, GWF adopted solutions from vendor SAP Signavio, including the SAP Signavio Process Transformation Suite and Process Insights.

By implementing SAP Signavio's solutions, GWF gained a unified view of its data and processes, enabling cross-functional teams to collaborate effectively. The vendor's tools helped identify and resolve inefficiencies, resulting in the release of A$850,000 in working capital within 12 weeks and a 70% reduction in cycle time. Furthermore, GWF identified A$53.4 million in potential value from goods received but not invoiced. SAP Signavio provided the foundation for a repeatable framework for process excellence and prepared GWF for its future move to SAP S/4HANA.
