Solutions & Services

The team is actively involved in the research, development and delivery of SAP Finance, Manufacturing, Research & Development, Sales, Sourcing and Procurement, Supply Chain and Enterprise Portfolio and Project Management solutions. Collate leverages the latest optimisations and technology in SAP S/4HANA as well as earlier versions of SAP to offer new and existing customers the latest innovations and best practices, whether it be new implementations, uprgrades or migrations.

With over two decades of experience, Collate helps its customers unlock the full benefits of their organisation's system, such as mobility, seamless user experience across all devices, blistering speed and process simplicity. We strive to create award-winning solutions, providing strategic clarity and actionable insight into our client's increasingly complex portfolios, programmes and projects. By following a holistic approach key benefits are realised: strategic portfolio alignment, real-time reporting and optimising resources and spending.

Collate runs an in-house SAP S/4HANA system with Best Practices installed, along with Solution Manager. We use SAP Activate implementation methodology and accelerators for implementations, and leverage Solution Manager to execute the methodology.

Collate is one of the leaders in the industry in the implementation of VIM solutions, with seamless integration with SAP financials. Our experts have provided excellent services for our various clients.

With VIM, invoices are processed more efficiently and quickly, resulting in a streamlined Accounts Payable process. The right people collaborate through a secure, easy to use interface to resolve problems, obtain invoice status, check purchase order numbers, approve invoices, and more. The optional optical character recognition software (OCR) uses the most advanced document and character recognition capabilities available and virtually eliminates human intervention in the invoice capture stage for invoices received as paper or attached to emails.

Benefits of a VIM implementation:

• - Minimize invoice processing time, optimize efficiency
• - Increase ROI and save money
• - Reduce cycle times
• - Increase productivity
• - Lower costs
• - Scalable foundation
• - Built for SAP S/4HANA
