Sasol is a global integrated chemicals and energy company that sources, produces and markets a range of high-value product streams in 31 countries. We wanted a single integrated procure-to-pay platform that provided us with a clear view into spend and the ability to quickly onboard, engage and manage suppliers.”

“This left us with disparate master data and no end-to-end visibility over our supply chain.

“We had, at the time (2012), 15 business units within the Southern Africa region, each using different procurement processes and different systems,” says Hendrik Steynberg, Vice President of Supply Chain Operations and Systems at Sasol. For one of South Africa’s largest global organisations, decentralized and siloed procurement systems and processes across multiple business units left it blind and lacking the visibility it needed to better serve the business.

Successfully navigating a business through uncertain times requires that decision-makers have full visibility over every aspect of the business in order to make accurate, informed decisions.
