African enterprises seeking to expand into new markets and develop new capabilities require access to accurate, real-time data on their overall performance. For Arnergy, a leading renewable energy provider in Nigeria, reliance on outdated systems led to inefficiencies that hindered growth.
“The value proposition for renewables has significantly strengthened in our market over the past year, creating a substantial opportunity for our business to scale,” says James Fabola Jr, Chief Financial Officer at Arnergy. “However, our existing systems could no longer support accurate and effective decision-making, prompting us to undergo a digital transformation to build new capabilities for future growth.”
Arnergy, a leading cleantech company, provides sustainable solutions to energy reliability issues in emerging markets. Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, the company offers tailored solar solutions to address pressing energy needs and deliver reliable power to residential and commercial users.
Nigeria’s government has removed favorable fuel subsidies and increased electricity tariffs, leading to a rapid escalation in fuel prices and a strengthened value proposition for renewable energy. “The four-fold increase in fuel prices has renewed interest in affordable, clean energy solutions,” says Fabola.
Arnergy chose SAP’s GROW with SAP for Scaleups S/4HANA Cloud to support its technology needs and partnered with ACED Consulting for implementation. The project involved a comprehensive change management process, including identifying change agents and providing regular communication about new functionality and benefits.
With its new SAP system, Arnergy can confidently pursue a new phase of growth and scalability, playing a central role in West Africa’s transition to cleaner, more reliable energy. SAP’s strategy is to help every business run as an intelligent, sustainable enterprise, providing deep business insight and fostering collaboration to stay ahead of the competition.
