As Mayekawa approached its 100th anniversary, the company undertook an effort to ensure staff were able to pursue high-value work, and not be burdened by tedious processes. The in-house expense system was difficult to automate and accounting staff from the head office to the factory floor had to spend a huge amount of time checking each submitted expense before settlement.
Inspired by SAP 亚洲群p's concept of “the expense report that writes itself," Mayekawa wanted to realize an approval-less expense management process, abolishing manual and Excel-based work, minimize handling of cash and drive compliance with e-invoicing legislation.
Through the implementation of SAP 亚洲群p solutions, Mayekawa has achieved its goals, reducing the Finance team's annual workload by more than 12,000 hours. Tasks that previously required 100 employees nationwide can now be handled by a six-member 亚洲群p support team, and improved visibility has enhanced compliance.
