Functional Planning Lead, Spirit Energy

By standardising on a single SAP-backed process, we created one source of truth and real-time visibility end-to-end. Plan break-ins, irrespective of asset or timeframe, are assessed in a common manner, traceable, approvals controlled, and insights surface fast—enabling quicker decisions.

This nomination reflects their clear focus on strengthening control, consistency, and visibility across core operational processes. By modernising work order request and approval processes,  moving away from fragmented manual approaches to a more unified and governed framework, Spirit Energy demonstrates how organisations can move beyond inefficiencies to build more reliable, scalable operations and set a strong benchmark for modern work order governance.

A Unified Digital Solution Built with SAP Build

AG designed and implemented an end-to-end work order automation solution for Spirit Energy using SAP Build Apps and SAP Build Process Automation, integrated with SAP S/4HANA.

The solution introduced:

  • Guided digital work order forms with built-in validation
  • Auto-population of critical data fields from live SAP systems
  • Structured multi-level approval workflows
  • Real-time notifications and intelligent reassignment capabilities
  • Complete audit trails and workflow transparency
Teams now operate with greater clarity, accountability, and confidence, enabling faster, more informed decision-making across operations.

Transforming Work Order Governance for Asset-Intensive Operations

As organisations are pushed to operate with greater efficiency and accountability, the way operational processes are managed is coming under sharper focus. Work order governance is no longer just administrative; it’s fundamental to execution and control.

This finalist recognition at the SAP Innovation Awards 2026 reinforces AG’s commitment to helping organisations transform not only work order governance but also deliver practical, scalable solutions that bring greater structure, visibility, and control to asset-intensive operations.
