All Energy-Related Customer Information from a Single Source

INTEGRATION OF SALES AND PROCUREMENT SECURE A COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE ENERGY MARKET CONVISTA CONSULTING AG

YOUR REQUIREMENTS:

From quotation through procurement to customer service: throughout the customer life cycle, it is necessary to use a wealth of information—often derived from a large variety of sources. A customer-focused service, however, calls for speed, transparency, and high data quality. In this respect, the interfaces between sales and procurement offer still untapped potential. The availability of all information and customized products from a single source is the decisive competitive edge in a fi ercely contested energy market.

Behind the scenes, downstream processes, such as the day-ahead forecast including spot market procurement as well as settlement with data and process reliability, need to be carried out. Topics subject to regulations, especially in the context of market communication, and future reporting requirements which aim for integrity and transparency of wholesale energy trading require a high level of data consistency. Any changes stipulated by regulations need to be met in a timely manner and with reasonable effort.

Secure processes due to integration of quotations in the CRM quotation process and inclusion of initial load forecast and cost calculation for pro-curement

All time series at hand: development of an energy data management for sales, which allows storage of all time-series information (load profi les, initial load forecasts, forecasts)

Portfolio management for sales: determining pro-curement costs (including breakdown), transfer-ring forecast quantities or tranches for procure-ment, making procurement costs available for settlement

RESULT: One platform for all data: we design a process, data, and system architecture for consolidating the most distributed data with the SAP Solution Portfolio. All customer information, demand and forecast values, and procurement data are avail-able to sales with one modern tool. Thus sales can focus on what is essential: the customer.
