How It Works

1
Step 1: Submit A Digital Field Ticket

Suppliers easily enter hours directly into SAP via the SES app, using the digital field ticket system. This streamlined process eliminates the need for paper tickets and reduces data re-entry, enhancing accuracy and efficiency.

Step 2: Automatic Approvals
Hours logged by preferred contractors are automatically approved based on pre-set business rules. This automation ensures that manual approvals are reserved only for exceptions, speeding up the process and reducing administrative overhead.

Step 3: Manage Updates on a Unified Portal
Access a comprehensive dashboard that provides a high-level overview of all procurement activities. The SES app shows how much of each purchase order has been consumed, allowing you to monitor and control spending in real-time.
