Uniper is revolutionizing its procurement processes with BusinessAI!

Düsseldorf-based Uniper, a European energy company with global reach and activities in more than 40 countries isn't just powering homes and businesses; it's powering its digital transformation with SAP Business AI and SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). Here are some of the highlights:

✅ With the AI-enabled Perfect Purchase Requisition app, built using SAP Build Work Zone and the generative AI hub in AI Core together with SAP HANA Cloud vector engine, Uniper has transformed the manual purchase process of the past. Now an AI agent conducts semantic searches, verifies material groups and suppliers, finds contracts, and creates purchase orders as an extension to SAP Ariba. Overseen by the purchasing department, this tool saves time and improves search accuracy by 95%. The value of the custom extension app is proven by the adoption rate of 95% - the number speaks for itself!

✅ Uniper has unified and automated further key processes across the company, from plant maintenance to finance, allowing users to use any device to complete tasks. For example, SAP Fiori apps enable Uniper plant technicians to complete reports on mobile devices, halving inspection time. And also purchase requisitions are managed through apps, allowing procurement managers to approve invoices from any device, reducing payment time by 50%.

✅ The commitment of the energy company to carbon neutrality by 2040 is a big part of its green transformation journey. By optimizing operations and leveraging innovative technologies like AI, it is building a more automated and efficient business for the future.
