Basware Among First AP Providers to Earn SAP Clean Core Certification

Published

on

Connector empowers customers to migrate to SAP Cloud ERP and future-proof accounts payable

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Basware, the global leader in Invoice Lifecycle Management (ILM), today announced that its Connector for SAP Cloud ERP Private has earned SAP Clean Core certification, making the company among the first AP solution providers worldwide to meet SAP’s highest standards for clean, upgrade-safe integration.

With SAP’s 2027 maintenance deadline pushing thousands of companies toward SAP Cloud ERP (S/4HANA), keeping AP automated through the transition has become a top priority for finance leaders. The elite Clean Core certification, which Basware is one of the first AP solution providers worldwide to achieve, means the Basware connector works side-by-side with SAP without touching the core system, so organizations avoid the custom code and workarounds that make future upgrades expensive and risky.

“With the 2027 deadline looming, Basware is among the first AP providers to earn Clean Core certification, proving our connector meets SAP’s integration standards,” said Jon Stevens, Senior Vice President, Business Development and Alliances, Basware. “This certification validates that when our customers migrate to SAP Cloud ERP, AP accelerates, compliance headaches vanish and the core stays clean.”

Keeping the Core Clean

Consistent with the principles of a Clean Core strategy, the Basware Connector for SAP Cloud ERP (S/4HANA) Private keeps invoice processing and AP automation running continuously, during the migration and after go-live, so finance teams don’t lose a day of productivity. Instead of building custom integrations that break with every SAP update, organizations get a pre-built, SAP-certified connection that plugs Basware Invoice Lifecycle Management (ILM) solutions directly into the SAP Cloud ERP ecosystem, enabling Basware’s invoice-centric AI to help automate routine invoice work, reduce manual rework, and keep invoices moving during and after migration.  

Accelerating the Value of SAP

Global enterprises running SAP Cloud ERP need a specialist AP layer to realize its full potential: touchless processing across complex invoice variability, compliance with 60+ e-invoicing mandates, AI-powered processing, and a unified supplier network. And Basware ILM delivers it all:

2B+ invoices processed, creating the world’s largest AP dataset$10T+ in total spend handled1B AI decisions executed annually60+ country e-invoicing mandates managed natively241+ interoperability partners30+ dedicated compliance experts monitoring regulatory changes

650+ SAP Customers Running Basware, Gaining Complete Control of Every Invoice

More than 650 SAP customers already run Basware as part of their SAP landscape and their strategy is paying off. Many  organizations see millions in savings, with automation reducing manual effort and unlocking working capital benefits.

Take KION Group. The company implemented Basware’s ILM solutions to automate AP, and has cut its cycle time by 50% while enabling reliable cash-flow forecasting during the S/4HANA transition. According to Taryn Challenger, Process Owner for Invoice Management AP, KION, Basware’s solutions have also been a “huge help” in driving a smooth transition to SAP Cloud ERP, noting that the company uses them to  “tidy up our accounts so we do not take inaccurate things from one system and put them into another,” she said.

“The companies getting the most from their SAP investments are the ones that refuse to let AP go dark during migration,” Stevens said. “Our customers already running Basware alongside their ERP are processing invoices faster, capturing early-payment discounts, and giving their CFOs clean AP data from day one, not six months after go-live.”

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Sokin is the financial layer global business runs on. Businesses can transact, convert and hold money in 70+ currencies across 170+ countries. Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.

About Chelsea Football Club

Chelsea Football Club is one of the biggest, most successful football clubs globally and our men’s team are reigning world champions, having won the four-yearly FIFA Club World Cup in 2025. Our women’s team, Chelsea Women, are also multiple trophy winners.

Founded in 1905, Chelsea is London’s most central football club, based at the iconic 40,000-capacity Stamford Bridge stadium. Nicknamed the Blues, the club lifted the Champions League for the first time in 2012 and domestically has won the Premier League five times, the FA Cup eight times, the Football League Cup five times and the Football League Championship once, in 1955.

The Women’s FA Cup has been won on six occasions. We have also captured the FA Women’s League Cup four times as well as reaching the UEFA Women’s Champions League final in 2021.
