How Egis Achieved Supplier Relationship Automation with Aprovall

Supplier relationship automation is at the heart of how Egis, a French engineering firm active in urban development, transport infrastructure, water, environment, and road and airport operations, manages its third-party ecosystem. With Aprovall, Egis maintains a clean and qualified third-party database. Processes run smoothly, follow-ups are centralized, and compliance is guaranteed throughout the entire supplier lifecycle.

A connected and automated supplier management system

Egis, a global engineering group operating in 120 countries, is active in infrastructure, transport, environment, water, and operations.

To achieve true supplier relationship automation and ensure compliance across a vast supplier network, Egis turned to Aprovall.

With Aprovall, the company now has a clean and qualified supplier master, ensuring compliance and efficiency throughout the supplier lifecycle.

Ensuring supplier compliance on a global scale

Before Aprovall, Egis faced the challenge of maintaining a large and complex supplier base while integrating a new ERP. Without supplier relationship automation, document checks (insurance, identity, banking compliance) were manual and difficult to manage across multiple regions — creating operational delays and compliance risks.

The goal was to ensure regulatory compliance before activating any supplier within the purchasing system.

The goal was to ensure regulatory compliance before activating any supplier within the purchasing system, and to replace fragmented manual workflows with a centralized, automated approach

The solution : ERP-integrated and fully automated process

Egis integrated Aprovall directly into its Oracle ERP, making it the single entry point for supplier qualification and compliance.

• Legal: document and regulatory data collection
• Finance: bank details verification
• Environment: responsible purchasing charter signature workflow

Data flows automatically between Aprovall and Oracle, ensuring that only validated suppliers are activated in the ERP.

This supplier relationship automation process brings full traceability, regulatory compliance, and significant operational efficiency — removing manual bottlenecks from every stage of the supplier lifecycle.

Results: Compliance and performance through automation

With Aprovall, Egis benefits from a clean, qualified, and compliant supplier master.

Supplier processes are streamlined, reminders centralized, and compliance is ensured across the full lifecycle.

The solution also supports new use cases such as:

• carbon footprint reporting,
• certification tracking,
• and enhanced supplier performance monitoring.

The collaboration between Egis and Aprovall demonstrates how supplier relationship automation can simplify can simplify can simplify and secure supplier management at scale.

By connecting directly with Oracle and automating validation workflows, Egis now manages its suppliers with greater control, agility, and transparency.

This partnership strengthens Egis’s commitment to operational excellence, compliance, and sustainability.

« Thanks to Aprovall and its connection with Oracle, we can now qualify our supplier master automatically and efficiently. With over 6,000 active suppliers onboarded, we’re laying the foundation for improved compliance and ESG performance monitoring.» explain Alain Chenal
