Case Study: KWS SAAT SE achieves standardized, automated global processes and accelerated transformation with SAP Signavio

How Can Standardized, Automated, Processes Propel Global Growth and Business Transformation

KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, one of the world’s largest plant‑breeding companies operating across more than 70 countries, faced industry disruptions from shifting food demand, climate change, and talent challenges. To harmonize operations and modernize administration, KWS set out to centralize and standardize processes, introduce a global administrative service delivery model, and build an end‑to‑end process‑excellence capability.

KWS implemented SAP Signavio solutions—including the Process Transformation Suite, Process Collaboration Hub, and Process Governance—to map, standardize, automate and govern processes. In just six months it migrated more than 1,000 processes, shortened governance cycle times, increased transparency and a process mindset across the organization, improved root‑cause detection and country‑specific variance handling, and strengthened its ability to scale global growth.
