Lack of digital end-to-end workflow & transparency<\/strong>
There is no fully integrated end-to-end process, which limits traceability and clear status visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does our solution look like? Fully automated process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With SAP\u00a0Build\u00a0Process\u00a0Automation and\u00a0the\u00a0SAP Integration Suite,\u00a0the\u00a0entire\u00a0process\u00a0is\u00a0fully\u00a0automated. All relevant\u00a0data\u00a0is\u00a0transferred\u00a0in real time, and\u00a0the\u00a0works\u00a0council\u00a0can\u00a0review\u00a0requests\u00a0centrally\u00a0via an intuitive SAPUI5\u00a0application, and\u00a0approve\u00a0or\u00a0reject\u00a0them. In three steps, this means:<\/p>\n\n\n

  1. Eliminate Manual Effort
    <\/strong>An automated solution replaces manual data handling to reduce effort and minimize errors \u2013 ensuring consistent and reliable processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Seamless System Integration
    <\/strong>With SAP Build Process Automation and the SAP Integration Suite, all relevant information is transferred smoothly and in real time between systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Centralized and Efficient Approval Process
