Procurement built for the realities of mining operations.
Mining companies rely on Rio, the digital employee for procurement, to connect contractors, suppliers, operations, finance, and SAP.
Rio reduces manual work, improves contract compliance, and keeps materials, services, and payments moving across every mine site.
Keep work moving without losing control of spend.

Keep maintenance and projects moving
From shutdowns and contractor services to maintenance materials and invoice processing, Rio automates the administrative work that slows procurement down. Operations stay focused on production.
Protect negotiated supplier agreements
Automatically validate invoices, contractor charges, purchase orders, and contract pricing against SAP before payment. Not weeks later during reconciliation.
Simplify supplier collaboration
Give contractors and suppliers one place to submit invoices, confirm purchase orders, upload supporting documentation, and monitor payment status. No SAP access required.
"Within six weeks it was fully operational, processing more than 40,000 invoices with near 100% success."
"Rio was introduced during the divestment of two mining assets from a global mining company. Procurement staffing requirements were reduced from six employees to two, while user adoption required minimal training thanks to Rio's intuitive design."
"We've been using ConvergentIS Rio to manage invoice processing. It's the only solution we've found that could handle our invoice volumes. We're seeing 98% accuracy, approvals are faster, delays are down, and we're processing billions in invoice volume with far less manual work."

One digital employee, not five applications
One digital employee across your mining procurement operation.
Rio works across your SAP landscape, reading supplier emails, invoices, contracts, purchase orders, PDFs, and spreadsheets. It validates transactions, routes approvals, orchestrates work, and escalates only the exceptions requiring human judgment.
01
Automate invoice processing
Mining organizations process enormous invoice volumes across maintenance, capital projects, contractor services, logistics, and operations.
Rio extracts invoice data directly from email and supplier submissions, validates it against SAP, performs automated matching, and posts compliant invoices automatically. Only exceptions require human attention.
02
Support contractor-heavy operations
Contractors often work outside your ERP. Rio provides a secure Procurement Gateway where they can work directly.
The result is fewer emails, faster approvals, and quicker payment.
03
Turn contracts into operational intelligence
Commercial agreements shouldn't live inside filing cabinets and SharePoint folders.
Rio reads existing contracts and makes negotiated pricing, insurance requirements, expiry dates, supplier obligations, and commercial terms immediately available throughout procurement.
04
Built for large-scale transitions
Whether separating mining assets, modernizing procurement, or implementing SAP S/4HANA, Rio deploys rapidly without disrupting operations.
Its native SAP integration minimizes project risk while reducing the manual work normally associated with large transformation programs.
Extend SAP. Don’t replace it.
Rio was designed specifically for SAP enterprises. Whether you operate SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Ariba, or SAP Fieldglass, Rio extends your existing investment while keeping SAP as the operational system of record.
