Case Study: Baker Hughes achieves faster, traceable, paperless Procure-to-Pay and reduced invoicing costs with Software AG's webMethods

Baker Hughes Drills into WebMethods to Reduce Process Time and Costs

Baker Hughes, a global oilfield services leader, needed to streamline its Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process to improve invoice accuracy, cut late payments and delivery delays, and gain greater process agility, visibility and control across its SAP-driven operations.

Building on an existing webMethods integration platform, Baker Hughes deployed webMethods BPMS and webMethods Optimize for SAP to create real‑time dashboards, alerts and end‑to‑end process monitoring. The result: a faster, traceable and largely paperless P2P cycle, savings of about $5–6 per invoice, dramatically fewer errors (including correcting a $40 million invoice to $40,000 in minutes), reduced delinquency rates, improved supplier relationships and continuous KPI‑driven process improvement.
