Oil, Gas and Chemicals | 2850 | $11.0B | United Kingdom | SAP | SAP S/4 HANA | ERP Financial | 2016 |
In 2016, Vivo Energy implemented SAP S/4 HANA as its core ERP Financial platform. The deployment was delivered by IBM Services and hosted on IBM Power Systems servers with IBM Storwize V7000 storage to support SAP HANA workloads. The program targeted Vivo Energy's retail and downstream operations across its high growth African markets, consolidating financial processing and transactional capture.
SAP S/4 HANA was configured alongside SAP SuccessFactors, SAP Cloud for Customer, and SAP Integrated Business Planning to create an intelligent enterprise fabric. Functional configuration focused on central financial modules common to the ERP Financial category, including general ledger orchestration, financial master data consolidation, and real time financial reporting and close workflows.
Integrations linked core finance to human resources, customer engagement, and integrated business planning, enabling end to end financial flows from sales and operations into the SAP S/4 HANA ledger. The architecture leveraged IBM Power Systems compute and Storwize V7000 storage to provide resilience and throughput for mission critical HANA operations and cross system data movement.
Implementation governance was led by IBM Services with centralized configuration management and a focus on single screen operational visibility for finance and operations users. Vivo Energy reported improved user productivity through consolidated, real time views of transactional and financial data, a change noted by the CIO as transformational for day to day decision making.

Oil, Gas and Chemicals | 2850 | $11.0B | United Kingdom | SAP | SAP S/4HANA RFNO | Oil Gas and Chemicals ERP | 2018 |
In 2018 Vivo Energy implemented SAP S/4HANA RFNO as part of an Oil Gas and Chemicals ERP initiative to centralize fuel retail, inventory, finance and supply-chain operations across its African operations. The deployment used SAP S/4HANA RFNO alongside S/4HANA Oil and Gas and Retail capabilities to provide a unified platform for service-station network operations and retail settlement functionality.
Configuration focused on retail fuel network operations and core transaction processing, with explicit implementations for inventory management, finance transaction capture and supply-chain order orchestration. The implementation aligned standard ERP functional workflows for retail settlement and station operations with category-aligned capabilities for analytics and automation, and the full application name SAP S/4HANA RFNO is referenced in operational documentation and runbooks.
IBM Services led the implementation, and the rollout targeted Vivo Energy's African operations with two country locations migrated by early 2019. Operational coverage emphasized service-station networks and centralized processing across finance and supply-chain teams, consolidating previously distributed retail and inventory workflows into a single Oil Gas and Chemicals ERP environment.
Governance included program-level ownership with IBM Services driving technical delivery and Vivo Energy operational teams owning process adoption, and the rollout staged country migrations to manage cutover risk. The project explicitly aimed to improve analytics and automation within fuel retail, inventory and finance processes, implementing standardized workflows and centralized data for ongoing operational control.
