PT Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (AMMAN), one of Indonesia’s leading copper and gold mining companies, received the ‘Transformation Journey Award’ at the SAP Customer Success Day, recognizing its progress in advancing digital transformation across the organization. The award underscores AMMAN’s ongoing efforts to integrate technology into its operations, supporting more efficient, accurate, and streamlined work processes, while reinforcing a culture that values innovation and continuous improvement.
What makes AMMAN’s journey unique is the sheer speed and scale of its digital adoption. While most large-scale digital overhauls can take years, AMMAN achieved 100% procurement for goods through the SAP Business Network in just nine months after going live.
This rapid transition has brought immediate, tangible benefits to the company’s operations:
- Digital Transformation: By implementing the SAP Business Network, AMMAN has fully digitalized its procurement process. This shift isn't just internal, the digitalization has spread to other parties as business partners are invited to digitalize their own processes, creating a more modern ecosystem.
- Traceability: AMMAN now has a better view of all processes and progress. This enhanced visibility allows for real-time tracking and has significantly increased overall operational efficiency.
- Operational Efficiency: AMMAN now processes more than 1,500 Purchase Orders (POs) every week with minimal delays, ensuring on-time payments to partners.
- Sustainability (ESG): In just six months, the digital shift saved over 214,000 sheets of paper, aligning with AMMAN’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
- Accuracy & Integration: By automating vendor integration, the company has significantly reduced manual errors and manual effort for supplier-side procurement workers.
The ‘Gold Standard’ for the Mining Industry
Within the global SAP Ariba community, particularly among mining companies, AMMAN is now regarded as the ‘Gold Standard.’ The company’s ability to combine strategic IT implementation with a strong procurement vision has turned its digital journey into a reference model for other businesses worldwide.
The use of SAP Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance solutions has also revolutionized how AMMAN manages compliance. The system now automatically sends renewal reminders for business licenses and keeps all vendor correspondence in one secure, transparent platform.
SAP Southeast Asia highlighted that digital procurement can be implemented quickly with the right strategy and partner, while automation meaningfully reduces manual workload and minimizes human errors; furthermore, transparent systems play a key role in meeting the strict regulatory requirements that are especially rigorous in the mining industry.
A Commitment to Innovation
Reflecting on this milestone, AMMAN expressed deep appreciation for the recognition, viewing it as a validation of the company's long-term vision.
“This recognition reinforces our commitment to advance our vision to be the most thoughtful and progressive technology company in natural resources. By embedding digitalization and technology into everyday operations, we are improving the speed, accuracy, and reliability of our work, so we can remain competitive, meet our obligations with confidence, and create sustained value for our stakeholders and partners,” said Kartika Octaviana, Vice President of Corporate Communications at AMMAN.
By integrating the right strategy with powerful technology, AMMAN has proven that the traditional mining industry can evolve into a modern, agile, and paperless powerhouse. This journey is only the beginning as AMMAN continues to expand these digital solutions across all its business units.
