State-of-the-art solutions with new user interfaces for the specific needs of industrial companies

If you want to step up the pace of innovation and implement digital solutions in short cycles, there’s no need to wait for SAP S/4HANA and the establishment of a digital core. Digital Now is the motto. The only question is how? Our favorite enabler is SAP Cloud Platform. Say goodbye to the time-consuming installations and software component licensing from the on-premise world. And say hello to test-driving new technologies on the cloud platform in real-world scenarios; and to cooperating with business departments to explore new technical, options based on actual processes – in a spirit of co-creation and design thinking. Multicloud is central to this, since it enables you to flexibly select and combine platforms, such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or Azure, according to your specific needs. As a result, our solutions are relatively independent of the actual SAP back end. And this enables us to introduce innovations swiftly while offering investment security.

With our special expertise in SAP Cloud Platform, SAP Cloud SDK, and user experience, we are expanding the core processes of SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA by adding innovative components such as machine learning and image recognition and bringing these to mobile devices for production employees, business partners, and end customers.

The following solutions are just a snapshot of our now 100+ apps. We focus firmly on industrial customers from the pharmaceutical, chemical, mechanical engineering, and automotive sectors:

Cloud-Based Solution for Entry Confirmation: cbs Entry Certificate Solution
