Industry

Refining, Commodity Trading, Supply Chain, Finance, Maintenance, ETRM

Client Profile

A leading refinery organization managing complex refinery operations, commodity trading, supply chain, procurement, inventory, finance, and maintenance processes across SAP ECC, RightAngle, and integrated enterprise systems.

The client needed stronger QA governance and structured testing support to validate business-critical SAP ECC and RightAngle processes during releases, enhancements, regression cycles, and operational changes.

Business Challenge

The client’s business landscape included SAP ECC for core enterprise operations and RightAngle for commodity trading and related commercial processes. Testing was highly dependent on manual execution, business users, spreadsheets, and fragmented regression coverage.

Key challenges included:

• Limited centralized QA governance across SAP ECC and RightAngle

• High dependency on SMEs for regression and UAT execution

• Manual test execution across SAP ECC modules and RightAngle flows

• Need to validate end-to-end business processes across ERP and ETRM systems
