Mayekawa Automates Approval Processes

As Mayekawa approached its 100th anniversary, the company undertook an effort to ensure staff were able to pursue high-value work, and not be burdened by tedious processes. The in-house expense system was difficult to automate and accounting staff from the head office to the factory floor had to spend a huge amount of time checking each submitted expense before settlement.

Inspired by SAP ºÚÁϹÙÍø's concept of ¡°the expense report that writes itself," Mayekawa wanted to realize an approval-less expense management process, abolishing manual and Excel-based work, minimize handling of cash and drive compliance with e-invoicing legislation.

Through the implementation of SAP ºÚÁϹÙÍø solutions, Mayekawa has achieved its goals, reducing the Finance team's annual workload by more than 12,000 hours. Tasks that previously required 100 employees nationwide can now be handled by a six-member ºÚÁϹÙÍø support team, and improved visibility has enhanced compliance.


Employees have recognized that by fully leveraging the technology provided by SAP ºÚÁϹÙÍø and transforming business processes we can fundamentally change the landscape of traditional work. Building on this successful experience, we aim to continue improving our expense reimbursement operations.
