Case Study: GFG Alliance achieves over 50% faster period-end close and unified process visibility with SAP Signavio

GFG Alliance Raising Performance in Critical Business Areas by Mining Business Processes and Data

GFG Alliance, a global group of metals and energy companies with an Australian arm operating across 150 sites and eight distinct business units, faced a fragmented, heterogeneous process landscape that limited leadership visibility and transparency across critical processes such as procure-to-pay and opportunity-to-cash. With inaccurate and incomparable data hindering strategic planning, the organization needed real-time insights to drive consistent, fact-based decision-making and lift overall performance.

By deploying SAP Signavio Process Manager, Process Collaboration Hub, and Process Intelligence alongside a transition to SAP S/4HANA, GFG Alliance visualized and harmonized processes, integrated legacy systems and eight ERP instances, and enabled fact-based discussions and faster user buy-in. Outcomes included a period-end close reduced from 8 days to 3 (>50% faster), improved procurement adherence with fewer late payments and lost discounts, more accurate cash forecasting, clearer inventory and reorder-point visibility, and overall gains in operational efficiency and performance.
