Are you spending too much valuable time and resources on complex SAP master data processes for materials, customers, vendors, asset management and finance?

If you’re using slow, error-prone manual data entry and routing, then it’s time to transform the way you work – and we know of large organisations that persist with spreadsheets for management and transformation of data.

The answer?

Data Automation.

What is Data Automation?

Data automation is the process of using technology to automatically collect, process, transform, and manage data - without the need for manual intervention. It’s a key component of digital transformation strategies across industries.

Automating SAP master data processes provides:

• Eliminates manual data entry
• Increases the speed of SAP processes
• Improve governance
• Delivers better data quality and integrity
• Gets products to market faster

How is it Done?

DAS Consulting is a Partner of Precisely – 12,000 companies in 100 countries trust their data integrity to Precisely.

Precisely Automate facilitates data automation primarily through two key platforms:

Automate Studio and Automate Evolve. These tools are designed to streamline and digitize SAP data processes with a focus on ease of use, compliance, and scalability.

Automate Studio

• Compliance and security: Adheres to SAP’s business and security rules to ensure data integrity.
• Script chaining: Supports multi-step processes for complex data operations.
• SAP compatibility: Works with SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP Fiori apps.

Automate Evolve

Automate Evolve is a more comprehensive platform designed for enterprise-grade process automation, especially for strategic SAP data processes. It includes:

• Enterprise-grade workflow automation: Digitizes processes like product launches, vendor onboarding, and GL account setup.
• Robust data stewardship: Ensures data quality and governance throughout the process.
• Deep SAP integration: Seamlessly connects with SAP systems for real-time data operations.

Example:

Automating Vendor Onboarding in a Manufacturing Company

Before Automation:

1. A procurement manager manually collects vendor details via email or PDF forms.

2. Data is entered into SAP manually, often leading to errors or delays.

3. Compliance checks (e.g., tax ID validation, bank info verification) are done manually.

4. It takes 3–5 days to onboard a new vendor.

After Data Automation (using tools like Precisely Automate):

1. Data Collection
   Vendors fill out a web form that feeds directly into a structured database.
    
2. Data Validation
   The system automatically checks for missing fields, validates tax IDs, and verifies bank details.
    
3. Workflow Automation
   A predefined workflow routes the data to procurement, legal, and finance for approvals.
    
4. SAP Integration
   Once approved, the data is automatically pushed into SAP with no manual entry.
    
5. Notifications & Reporting
   Stakeholders receive automated updates, and dashboards track onboarding metrics

Results:

• Onboarding time reduced from 5 days to 1 day.
• Error rate dropped significantly due to automated validation.
• Audit readiness improved with a digital trail of all actions.
