In 2014, Henkel implemented Tungsten AP Invoice Automation to advance its AP Automation agenda across its global purchase-to-pay organization. The deployment targeted reducing manual invoice handling and improving compliance while complementing Henkel's existing self-billing processes, because the company continued to process 1.25 million paper invoices annually prior to the rollout.
Tungsten AP Invoice Automation was configured to enable large scale e-invoicing and supplier onboarding, converting paper flows into structured electronic invoice transactions and removing the need for invoice scanning. Functional capabilities emphasized supplier enrollment workflows, electronic invoice ingestion and automated invoice processing consistent with AP Automation practices, and provided increased invoice-level transparency across the AP function.
Within the first 12 months suppliers responsible for 72 percent of Henkel's in-scope invoices were signed up for e-invoicing, which allowed Henkel to extend the program into Central and Eastern Europe. The implementation focused on ramping transaction volumes and operationalizing e-invoicing as a complementary channel alongside self-billing, with future plans to include North America and Asia in the program.
The rollout reoriented invoice processing governance toward supplier onboarding, centralized electronic invoice handling and compliance monitoring across purchase-to-pay. Henkel does not scan any invoices and continues to leverage Tungsten AP Invoice Automation to increase transparency in accounts payable as the program scales geographically.

In 2025, Henkel implemented LabVantage LIMS to create a cohesive platform linking laboratory workstreams to its SAP-managed commercial operations, choosing LabVantage LIMS as a best-in-class Laboratory Management solution to address end-to-end R&D to commercialization needs. The initiative was driven by a corporate objective to accelerate time-to-market and improve sustainability by connecting laboratory procedures with downstream commercial and manufacturing processes.
The deployment focused on core Laboratory Management capabilities, with LabVantage LIMS configured for structured laboratory workflows, sample tracking, test result management, and quality control data capture. The implementation included automation of routine lab workflows and standardized data models to enforce traceability and laboratory data integrity across product development stages.
Integration architecture centered on a custom interface between LabVantage LIMS and Henkel’s SAP environment, synchronizing material and product master data, batch and test results, and process status between R&D and enterprise systems. This integration enabled operational continuity from R&D through manufacturing and commercialization, aligning laboratory data with enterprise resource planning processes.
Governance changes accompanied the technical rollout, with laboratory data stewardship, standardized test protocols, and workflow orchestration introduced to bridge lab and commercial functions.
