How a major energy company transformed its SAP environment with AI-powered automation, eliminating 40,000 manual hours per year.
The Challenge
A Fortune 500 energy company was operating on a heavily-customized SAP S/4HANA landscape with over 800 manual workflows. Month-end close took 12 days, procurement approvals stalled for weeks, and finance teams spent 60% of their time on data reconciliation rather than analysis.
Our Approach
Voltican embedded a GenAI orchestration layer directly into the SAP environment using Azure OpenAI and SAP BTP. We deployed intelligent document processing for vendor invoices, AI-driven anomaly detection for financial reconciliation, and a natural-language query interface for real-time ERP reporting — all without disrupting the existing system architecture.
