SPS operates large, multi-client service environments where accuracy, scalability, and operational consistency are essential. The organization already had strong delivery processes and governance frameworks in place, but as the scope of services expanded across regions and clients, SPS identified an opportunity to add more integrated, real-time visibility into its operations.

To support this evolution, SPS partnered with KYP.ai. The aim was to strengthen transparency, efficiency, and data integration in an environment where volume, variety, and complexity naturally grow. KYP.ai provided an intelligence layer that helped SPS enhance its existing operational model and continue delivering high-quality services at scale.

The Opportunity

1 Natural Complexity in Multi-Client Operations

Serving many clients across regions means working with multiple systems and data sources by design. SPS handled this effectively, while recognizing potential to simplify how project-related information was aligned.

2 High-Precision Billing at Scale

SPS manages many simultaneous client engagements. KYP.ai offered a way to further streamline how data from different systems was brought together to support accurate, timely billing.

3 Strong Reporting, With Room for Deeper Insight

SPS already monitored performance and service levels through established processes. KYP.ai provided a more granular, real-time view that supported faster adjustments and more detailed continuous improvement.

4 Multiple Data Streams

Because teams work on both online and offline activities, data naturally lives in several environments. KYP.ai made it easier to unify these inputs without changing established workflows.

The Solution

KYP.ai enhanced SPS’s operational framework by adding an integrated productivity intelligence layer.

1 Automated Process Signal Collection

Digital process signals were captured from existing workflows, reducing manual preparation work and improving accuracy for project attribution.

2 Unified Data Integration

The Integration Database (IDB) consolidated operational data from various systems into a single model. This improved consistency and reduced administrative alignment work.

3 Real-Time SAP Connectivity

Validated data was transferred automatically into SAP through an IDoc connection, enabling more efficient and reliable billing processes.

4 Enhanced Operational Insight

Real-time dashboards provided deeper visibility into workload distribution, process variations, and performance trends. This supported faster decision-making across teams and regions.

Results

1 Administrative Effort Reduced by Over 50%

Tasks related to assembling, validating, and aligning project-related data became significantly more efficient, allowing teams to dedicate more time to value-adding work.

2 Productive Capacity Improved by 25%

With smoother workflows and reduced administrative overhead, teams were able to focus more directly on client-related tasks.

3 Greater Transparency Across Regions

Differences and patterns across teams became easier to identify, supporting targeted continuous improvement in a way that complements SPS’s existing processes.

4 A More Streamlined System Landscape

Two separate systems were replaced with one integrated operational data layer, simplifying maintenance and improving scalability.

Key Takeaways

  1. SPS enhanced an already mature operational environment with an additional layer of visibility and efficiency.
  2. Leaders gained deeper insights while maintaining a low reporting burden for employees.
  3. KYP.ai enhances the consistency required in multi-client shared services.
  4. The integration strengthens SPS’s ability to maintain high-quality operations across regions.
  5. The approach creates a scalable foundation for expanding productivity intelligence into additional service areas.

By the Numbers

  • More than 50% reduction in administrative alignment work
  • 25% improvement in productive capacity
  • 13 percentage points more time spent on value-adding activity
  • Two systems consolidated into one integrated data layer
