Oil, Gas & Energy

Procurement built for the realities of field operations.

Energy companies rely on Rio, the digital employee for procurement, to connect contractors, suppliers, operations, finance, and SAP.

Rio validates field work against contract terms, automates service entry and invoice processing, and handles exceptions before they slow production down.

Keep work moving without losing control of spend.

"Rio has enabled our highly manual invoice payment process to be fully automated seamlessly from end to end."

"We've been using ConvergentIS Rio to manage invoice processing. It's the only tool we've found that could handle our complex invoices, and we've tried quite a few. We're seeing 99+% accuracy, which exceeded our expectations. It's helped us streamline approvals, reduce delays, and stay on top of billions in invoice volume. The team keeps making it better, and it's become a go-to part of our AP operations. This sustained business process change has allowed our team to shift to other high value-added work while eliminating manual processes, improving overall controls, and reducing audit time for the business."

One digital employee, not five applications

One digital employee across your procurement operation.

Unlike traditional procurement applications that solve one process at a time, Rio works across your SAP landscape. It reads documents, validates transactions, routes approvals, and orchestrates work from supplier request through payment.

01

Automate service entry

Field services generate thousands of service entry sheets that are often validated manually against contracts and purchase orders.

Rio gives suppliers a simple interface to submit service entry sheets while automatically validating rates, quantities, contract terms, and required information. Approvals then route directly through SAP.

02

Eliminate manual invoice processing

Invoices arrive through email, PDFs, spreadsheets, and vendor submissions.

Rio monitors incoming documents, extracts invoice data, performs two-way and three-way matching against SAP, and posts compliant invoices automatically. Exceptions route to the right people with complete context.

03

Turn contracts into operational intelligence

Most energy companies store thousands of executed contracts that are difficult to search and nearly impossible to use operationally.

Rio reads existing contract documents and extracts commercial terms, negotiated pricing, expiry dates, supplier obligations, and insurance requirements. Contract intelligence becomes available in real time across procurement operations.

04

Give suppliers an experience they'll actually use

Many contractors and local suppliers don't have sophisticated procurement systems. Rio's Procurement Gateway gives them one place to work.

Extend SAP. Don’t replace it (until you’re ready).

The next category

The future of procurement isn't another application. It's a digital employee.

Most procurement technology asks people to learn another system. Rio works differently. It reads emails, contracts, PDFs, spreadsheets, and supplier documents.

It validates transactions against SAP, coordinates work across procurement, finance, operations, and suppliers, and escalates only what requires human judgment. Your people stay focused on managing suppliers, controlling costs, and supporting operations. Not chasing paperwork.
