In 2016, SATO implemented GEP OpusCapita Source-to-Pay AP Process Automation to outsource its Accounts Payable services and systems to OpusCapita. The deployment centralized AP Automation capability and combined invoice processing with an integrated procurement system as part of a Source-to-Pay solution supporting SATO's finance and procurement functions in Finland.
The implementation incorporated category-aligned AP Automation workflows including supplier invoice capture and validation, automated matching against purchase orders, workflow-based approvals, and exception routing to reduce manual processing. The integrated procurement system was connected into the solution to provide purchase order orchestration and matching continuity between procurement and payables, enabling electronic invoice handling and consolidated payment instructions under the OpusCapita service.
Operationally the arrangement placed invoice processing and AP platform operations under OpusCapita's managed service, impacting corporate finance and procurement teams at SATO, an organization of approximately 325 employees with reported revenue of 313000000. Governance shifted toward vendor-operated service-level management and centralized invoice workflow policies, with OpusCapita responsible for systems operations and transactional processing within the Source-to-Pay framework.

| Retta Group | Legacy | Retta, formerly Realia | Real Estate Property Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2014 | 2014 |
In 2014 SATO centralized the management of its investment apartments to Retta, formerly Realia, under a three-year hosting contract that began on March 1, 2014. The agreement applies to approximately 24,000 investment apartments, expanding prior coverage that had represented about 70 percent of SATO’s apartments, and leverages Realia as a long standing hosting partner of ten years.
The implementation oriented the Real Estate Property Management deployment around consolidated administrative hosting and technical hosting service descriptions, merging these previously distinct service definitions to eliminate handoffs between administrative and technical teams. Configuration work focused on standardizing property administration workflows, tenant service intake and customer service availability, and technical maintenance coordination, while enabling the replication of best customer service practices across the full portfolio.
Operationally the solution used a centralized hosting architecture managed by Realia, with SATO and Realia operating under a jointly agreed management model to control day to day operations. The scope of operations covered SATO’s investment housing portfolio and routed all customer access through extended customer service opening hours and unified property manager accessibility, improving single point of contact handling for tenants.
Contract governance explicitly incorporated nonfunctional objectives into the Real Estate Property Management arrangement, including contractual goals for energy saving and measures to combat the gray economy. The governance model emphasized harmonized operating methods and joint operational controls between SATO’s Investment Housing Unit and Retta, formerly Realia, to sustain standardized processes and service level consistency.
