Overview
AQUAPOR is a leading private company in the public services sector, delivering solutions across water supply, sanitation, waste collection, and urban cleaning. Headquartered in Portugal, it also operates in Angola, Mozambique, Saudi Arabia, and China. Its wide international footprint demands high operational efficiency, especially when it comes to internal processes. One of the biggest pain points was the end-of-period routines, which were time-consuming and resource-heavy.

REPORTING AND FORMULAS
The Challenge
AQUAPOR’s end-of-month routines used to stretch over an entire week. These included multiple tasks like integrating large data volumes from and to SAP, joining data from multiple sources, and preparing reports for 14 companies—all mostly done manually. The complexity and time commitment of these processes not only slowed down reporting but also put pressure on teams to meet deadlines while juggling various systems and tools.
The Solution
To modernize its routines, AQUAPOR adopted ALLOS—an Excel Addin that brought automation into their day-to-day workflow, integrating data from multiple systems. With ALLOS, routine uploads and reports became much faster and easier to manage. Key features included direct SAP uploads from Excel and automated report generation across all group companies, reducing manual intervention and boosting consistency.
The Result
The impact was immediate. Invoice processing time dropped from four days to just one, and end-of-month routines were shortened by 75%, going from four days to one. Report turnaround improved by 50%, freeing up valuable time and resources. With ALLOS, AQUAPOR achieved faster workflows, fewer errors, and more time to focus on strategic work across its global operations.
