The Challenge

This energy and utilities group operates 22 subsidiaries, each running on a shared SAP S/4HANA instance but with its own close calendar and local reporting requirements. Prior to PayConnect, there was no common platform for close management across the group, and rolling out any new finance process to all 22 entities typically took the better part of a year.

The Solution

PayConnect's template-based deployment model let the group define a single close and reconciliation template centrally, then roll it out to each subsidiary with local configuration for statutory requirements.

  • Central close and reconciliation template configured once, then adapted per subsidiary
  • Phased rollout across all 22 subsidiaries running on the group's SAP S/4HANA instance
  • Local finance teams retained control of statutory-specific tasks while reporting into one consolidated dashboard
  • Implementation team ran go-live waves in parallel to compress the rollout timeline

The Results

All 22 subsidiaries were live on PayConnect within 90 days of project kickoff — a fraction of the time a comparable rollout had taken in the past.

  • 22 subsidiaries deployed on one platform
  • 90-day rollout from kickoff to full go-live
  • One consolidated close dashboard replacing 22 disconnected local processes
  • Group-wide reconciliation visibility achieved for the first time
