Enexis Groep: Modernising Energy Grid Operations

How we helped the Netherlands' leading grid operator migrate their core business processes to Flowable with seamless SAP S4/HANA integration.

The Client

Enexis Groep is one of the largest grid operators in the Netherlands, managing the electricity and gas networks for approximately 2.9 million customers across five provinces. With the energy transition accelerating, Enexis needed modern, flexible process automation to handle increasing complexity in grid management, customer connections, and regulatory compliance.

The Challenge

Enexis faced several critical challenges in their digital transformation journey:

  • Legacy systems with tightly coupled business logic made changes slow and risky
  • Complex integration requirements with SAP S4/HANA for financial and asset management
  • Need for real-time visibility into process execution across multiple departments
  • Regulatory requirements demanding auditable, compliant process execution

Our Solution

Code Garden designed and implemented a comprehensive solution centred on Flowable as the core workflow engine:

Flowable Implementation
