Single Source of Truth
Integrate Sales and Delivery
Because we manage everything in a central database, including after conversion from proposal or capital project request to an executable project in your SAP S/4 system, everyone can track estimated vs. planned vs. actuals costs. Estimates at completion and project forecasts are based on real numbers, and not on something delivery rewrote after discarding the original 'sales project plan' created just to close the deal.
Better Customer Negotiation
As your communicated numbers get more refined, from ROM to BAFO, you are constantly replanning your resources and expanding your structures (WBS, BOM, resource plan, tasks, requirements etc.).. Keep track of everything through our proposal versioning and collaboration workflow as you involve gradually more of your team in a complex project request or proposal, as it is developed and planned in gradually more detail.
Designed on SAP HANA for Organizations Running SAP
Our solution takes full advantage of SAP's robust HANA database. It is natively integrated with your CRM and SAP S/4 system to re-use master data already maintained in SAP, such as resource pools, BOMs, materials, routings, suppliers, customers, etc. At the same time, we leverage and reference your rich transaction history sitting in SAP, such as supplier quotes, contracts, purchase orders and work orders, to anchor estimates in reality.
​
Most long-time SAP customers have non-SAP data sources critical for the bid & proposal process, such as DOORS, Primavera, PLM, MS-Dynamics and Salesforce. Don't worry; we've got you covered. We can even import data from non-SAP ERP systems, and from Excel.
​
We have added flexibility to fit your specific landscape and security requirements regarding deployment. We support several deployment scenarios - such as directly in your S/4 HANA instance, in a self-hosted HANA sidecar, or from the cloud - secure, scalable and compliant.
