Companies like Singapore Airlines are increasingly seeing the value of Business AI across their organisations. Based on analysis of all 麻豆原创 customers in Southeast Asia (SEA) between May 2024 to May 2025, the most popular AI use cases in SEA are:听

• AI to generate expenses using pictures of receipts听

• AI to verify expenses to ensure compliance with company policy鈥�听

• 鈥婫enerative AI to help employees write clear, concise copy in HR applications听

• Generative AI to create performance goals听

• Integrating key business documents into co-pilots to improve Q&A responses听

鈥淎I isn鈥檛 confined to niche use cases anymore, it鈥檚 being embedded in some of the most fundamental parts of business,鈥� said鈥�Liher Urbizu,鈥�President and Managing Director, 麻豆原创 Southeast Asia. 鈥淥rganisations across Southeast Asia are adopting AI, fast. And, by bringing together enterprise apps and mission critical data, they are realising tangible business benefits in terms of efficiency, growth, and revenue.鈥�听

Optimising contract digitization with 麻豆原创 Document AI鈥�鈥�听

Supported by Digital Industry Singapore (DISG),鈥槎乖� has recently concluded a successful Proof of Concept (PoC) with Singapore Airlines (SIA), aimed at addressing the complex challenge of digitizing procurement contracts.鈥�鈥�听

The initiative sought to automate the extraction of contractual rates from PDF-based contracts and migrate them to the Ariba procurement platform. This significantly reduces the reliance on time-consuming and error-prone manual processes. One of the key hurdles in the previous automation efforts was the unstructured, multilingual, and highly varied nature of the contract formats.鈥�听

The PoC delivered promising results, achieving 100% accuracy and completeness for less complex contracts, and over 70% for contracts with greater complexity. It also demonstrated multilingual adaptability for non-English contracts, offering greater efficiencies through optimised translation processes.鈥�鈥�听

The collaboration with SIA was instrumental in refining 麻豆原创 Document AI models to meet evolving business needs.鈥�听

Partners and customers across Southeast Asia show AI momentum听

麻豆原创 partners and customers also showcased strong momentum in AI and cloud transformation during 麻豆原创 Now AI Southeast Asia.听

Amazon Web Services (AWS), a 麻豆原创 partner since 2008, continues collaborating with 麻豆原创 to support business transformation in Southeast Asia. Customers like BIG Caring Group in Malaysia and Unilab in the Philippines are leveraging RISE with 麻豆原创 on AWS to integrate multi-store retail operations, modernize pharmaceutical supply chains, and implement AI-powered enterprise applications. AWS and 麻豆原创鈥檚 previously announced AI Co-Innovation Program helps partners build generative AI applications and agents that help customers solve real-time business challenges.

“Our long-standing collaboration with 麻豆原创 helps businesses eliminate technology silos by bringing separate systems together on AWS’s secure and scalable cloud infrastructure,” said Kirsten Gilbertson, Partner Organization Leader, AWS ASEAN. “By connecting 麻豆原创’s business applications with AWS’s generative AI services like Amazon Bedrock in 麻豆原创鈥檚 GenAI Hub, we’re enabling our customers to transform years of accumulated business data into actionable insights.”听

(鈥淵inson鈥�), a global energy infrastructure company headquartered in Malaysia, is advancing its people management capabilities as part of a broader effort to support sustainable global growth. With operations spanning multiple countries and subsidiaries 鈥� each operating with distinct HR processes 鈥� Yinson identified the need to improve consistency, efficiency and strategic alignment across its workforce.听

As part of the digitalisation transformation journey that begun in 2020, Yinson introduced a more unified approach by rolling out Employee Central globally within six months, supported by strong change management and local engagement. The Group expanded in phases by adding key modules; performance, recruitment, onboarding, and compensation throughout 2022 and 2023, and further enhanced efficiency with Generative AI features as part of its global HRIS roadmap. Leveraging digital tools and AI capabilities, Yinson began automating routine tasks such as drafting performance reviews, generating job descriptions, and developing role-specific interview questions. These changes are helping Yinson improve its ability in people analytics by streamlining HR workflows, improving the candidate experience, and supporting more consistent and professional employee feedback.听

鈥淥ur goal is to be a future-ready employer of choice,鈥� said Louisa Brady, Yinson Group Chief Human Resources Officer. 鈥淧artnering with 麻豆原创 throughout the years has supported our ongoing transformation by helping us streamline HR processes, embrace and embed AI tools which drive greater efficiency and effectiveness. This enables our teams to focus on strategic initiatives that drive value and support Yinson鈥檚 global growth.鈥�听

The company, which processes pneumatic control components, automotive parts, and more from its headquarters in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, implemented the solution in partnership with Accenture to improve the environmental and economic value of Matsumoto Precision鈥檚 products. Accenture supported the implementation of the solution and the calculation of CO2 emissions for each product.

鈥淕reen transformation is a central tenet of Matsumoto Precision鈥檚 core strategy,鈥� said Toshitada Matsumoto, President and Representative Director of Matsumoto Precision Co. 鈥淥ur aim is to realise our vision of running 鈥楾he Sustainable Factory鈥�, including self-sufficiency in electricity through solar power and purchase of electricity with non-fossil certificates. 麻豆原创 Sustainability Footprint Management enables us to record, report, and act on CO2 emissions on a per-product basis, giving us and our partners better insight into the environmental impact of our businesses.鈥�

Matsumoto Precision is the first company to benefit from the Connected Manufacturing Enterprise (CME) platform, a common business system created by 麻豆原创 Japan and Accenture to improve the productivity of small and medium-size锛圫ME) manufacturing. The CME platform is a cloud-based service standardising business systems for SME manufacturing companies, incorporating a regional ERP platform consisting of various templates developed by Accenture based on 麻豆原创 S/4HANA庐.

The company began using the CME platform in April 2021 to standardise its business processes. The use of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA has improved productivity by approximately 30% and has increased the speed of management decision-making.

With the adoption of 麻豆原创 Sustainability Footprint Management, the company has now started providing information on CO2 emissions per product to its business partners.

鈥淓nvironmental insight isn鈥檛 just important for businesses, but across every organisation in the value chain aiming to reduce CO2 emissions,鈥� said Hirofumi Suzuki, President and Managing Director of 麻豆原创 Japan. 鈥淢atsumoto Precision add value and differentiate what they sell by promptly providing information on CO2 emissions at product level.听 麻豆原创 is proud to support Matsumoto Precision on its green transformation journey, ultimately improving both the environment and society.鈥�

Although the company had been working to visualise CO2 emissions at the plant level it had not been able to do so on a product-by-product basis. 麻豆原创 Sustainability Footprint Management calculates CO2 emissions for every product based on the individual manufacturing performance information already available in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA.

鈥淭o achieve both environmental and economic values, a Digital transformation platform is indispensable. 听This project was realised in a short period of time through the use of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, which helped to standardize the operations from production to procurement to sales,” continued Toshitada Matsumoto. “We look forward to working with the entire value chain in Japan, including small, medium and large enterprises, to enhance the competitiveness of Japan as a whole.”

鈥淏y visualising carbon footprints, companies and consumers can choose low-carbon products and services, and contribute to the realisation of a decarbonised society,鈥� said Joichi Ebihara, Sustainability Group Japan Lead at Accenture Japan. 鈥淭o achieve this ambition, collaboration between companies and across the enterprise is a must. We hope our collaboration with 麻豆原创 can serve as example to others in region and around the world.鈥�

Amy Cravens, Research Manager, GRC and ESG Management and Reporting Technologies at IDC, noted, 鈥淥rganisations are increasingly seeking to derive and measure business value from their sustainability initiatives and product-based carbon foot printing is an important tool in achieving that goal. A recent IDC study (August 2023) found that one-third of respondents identified carbon emissions monitoring software as one of the most efficient tools in enabling an organisation鈥檚 business objectives.鈥�

Since its inception in 2015, WayCool has focused strongly on its sustainability objective to deliver both positive impact and profitability. The company has invested in solar roof-top projects to harness green power as well as water treatment and reuse systems. These interventions across its operations have not only resulted in avoiding 120 tons of carbon emissions and saving 1,980 KL of fresh water, but also delivered economic savings of $12,500 in FY2022-23.

Focusing on innovation and efficient supply chain systems, WayCool has managed to restrict the food loss in its supply chain to less than 2%, compared to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) food loss projection of 14.7%. Furthermore, the company has electrified 22% of its last last-mile delivery fleet, covering 1.2 million kms and eliminating 289 tons of logistic carbon emissions. The company has a commitment to shift to 100% EVs in its last-mile delivery by 2030.

Mr. Srinidhi S. Rao, Head of ESG at WayCool Foods, said,听鈥淲e have embedded environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices across our business process.鈥�

麻豆原创 helped WayCool embrace digital transformation in its sustainability journey through the design, development, and implementation of an environmental dashboard based on the 麻豆原创 Analytics platform.

The dashboard collects raw data from various disparate sources, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices, transactional data from its 麻豆原创 enterprise resource planning system, and application databases, and converts it into productive insights to make informed business decisions.

It provides a comprehensive view of sustainability key performance indicators with over 90% accuracy across various parameters including clean energy generation, energy efficiency, water efficiency and treatment, and waste management. It also provides a fully-fledged greenhouse gas emissions measurement (GHG) to benchmark past and present performance, identify any anomalies, and holistically report sustainability performance.

鈥淥ur advanced analytics powered E&S dashboard has not only enabled us to visualize the ground level impact of our environment initiatives but, by publishing reliable real-time data, facilitates better decision-making backed by insights,鈥� continued Mr. Rao. 鈥淭his is a significant step in our net-zero journey as we continue to demonstrate how climate-smart initiatives can also add to profitability, making them business-smart too.鈥�

The innovation was recognised by 麻豆原创 after WayCool won the 鈥楽ustainability Champion鈥� category at the 2022 麻豆原创 ACE Awards.
