| MagniFinance | Legacy | MagniFinance Billing | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022, SGS implemented MagniFinance Billing, deploying the application in the AP Automation category. SGS appears on MagniFinance's customer roster as a user of the MagniFinance Billing/API, with vendor materials indicating usage for finance-related billing, invoicing and reconciliation across SGS operations in Europe rather than through a named case study.
The implementation centers on MagniFinance Billing modules for billing and invoicing, automated document issuance, and bank reconciliation workflows. The deployment leverages the MagniFinance Billing API to programmatically issue invoices, drive electronic invoice distribution, and support payment matching and reconciliation processes within accounts payable and accounts receivable functional flows.
Integration architecture is described as API-first, connecting MagniFinance Billing to SGS finance back-end processes and bank reconciliation channels to automate document issuance and reconciliation feeds. Operational scope covers finance and accounting teams in Europe, and the implementation implies alignment of invoice lifecycle ownership and exception handling into existing finance workflows as part of AP Automation adoption.

| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle Cloud HCM | Core HR | HCM | Epicenter BV | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, SGS implemented Oracle Cloud HCM, deploying the application as its Core HR system. Epicenter BV delivered the Flexible Interface Tool for Oracle HCM Cloud to orchestrate configurable integrations between Oracle Cloud HCM and local HR and payroll solutions.
The implementation centered on the Flexible Interface Tool FIT for Oracle HCM Cloud, which provides configurable mapping and transformation capabilities and web based configuration pages. New interfaces can be configured in a short term by functional staff members by inputting mapping and transformation definitions in webpages, lowering reliance on bespoke development for each country.
Ten countries are running live interfaces from Oracle HCM Cloud to their local HR and payroll systems, these are Peru, Swiss, UK, Taiwan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The deployment targets HR and payroll business functions across SGS, a multinational operating in more than 100 countries with over 100,000 employees, and concentrates on operational connectivity rather than local payroll processing logic.
Governance shifted to include functional ownership of interface configuration and ongoing maintenance using the FIT tooling, enabling faster configuration cycles and standardized interface templates. SGS chose a generic, configurable integration approach to strive to save time and money in the development and maintenance of interfaces, while Epicenter BV’s FIT provides the orchestration layer to manage mappings and transformations.

| Intelex Technologies | Legacy | Intelex Case Management | Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2015 | 2015 |
In 2015, SGS deployed Intelex Case Management as part of a global Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) rollout coordinated from its Switzerland headquarters. The implementation consolidated paper and Excel based safety and incident reporting into a single incident reporting platform, establishing a centralized HSE reporting repository across SGS operations.
Intelex Case Management was used to institutionalize incident capture and case tracking workflows, supporting incident handling and investigation capabilities. Configuration emphasized structured incident records, investigation workflow orchestration, and corrective action tracking consistent with Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) operational processes.
The deployment covered global EHS and incident reporting functions and was positioned for use by HSE teams, site safety managers, and investigation leads, with reporting and oversight coordinated through HQ Switzerland. The system unified reporting formats and incident data to create consistent case records across regions and sites.
Governance and process changes included moving reporting from manual documents to digital case management, standardizing investigation workflows, and centralizing HSE reporting governance. After the initial deployment of Intelex Case Management SGS materially reduced LTIR and TRIR, reflecting the operational shift to structured incident handling and consolidated reporting.
