e-regio: Process mining for increased agility and enhanced customer focus

e-regio is a major regional energy service provider, offering services and consulting in electromobility, photovoltaics, and individual heating solutions, as well as electricity, gas, and water supply. About 400 employees work on advancing the energy revolution in the Euskirchen and Kall region of Germany.

e-regio wanted to ensure continued business growth and excellent customer service, and to be able to react flexibly in a volatile environment. To do so, they needed to harmonize, and partially redefine, operational processes, responsibilities, and IT systems. The aim was to make existing processes transparent, gain process data, and then quickly make the right operational and strategic decisions based on this data.

Improved strategic decisions – thanks to process mining and the
business process transformation portfolio

Before: Challenges and Opportunities

  • The merger of gas/water supplier e-regio and electricity providers required process, role, and technology modifications

  • Needed to detect weaknesses with a comprehensive process analysis

  • Wanted to ensure long-term customer satisfaction

  • Process optimizations had to be flexible to deal with the energy revolution, rising customer expectations, digital transformation, and a volatile environment caused by the pandemic and other global developments

Why SAP?

  • The SAP Signavio business process transformation solution portfolio enables 360-degree process documentation, analysis, and automation

  • Processes can be recorded intuitively and visualized transparently

After: Value-Driven Results

  • In-depth evaluations of optimization potential with transparent processes and associated costs

  • Better evaluation of potential automation projects with a greater understanding of current role structures and processes

  • Strong customer focus enabled by additional cross-functional process perspective

  • Simplified requirements management due to a newly-created process manager role, user-friendly process modeling, and user collaboration in the tool

  • Faster identification and implementation of necessary process adjustments to changing circumstances – for example, in gas procurement – with complete process transparency

"A lack of transparency prevented efficient implementation of some projects. We needed clear
processes and roles, as well as confidence in making important decisions and changes."
