SAP is a powerful ERP system used by many organisations. However, in practice, user-friendliness is often a challenge. With smart process automation tools, processes can be significantly accelerated and improved, delivering immediate, visible results.
Based on our practical experience, we have analysed four common tasks in SAP. Below is a comparison of the average processing time for manual input versus automation using process automation tools:

A concrete example: creating 10,000 materials in SAP via a process automation solution results in a direct time saving of approximately 140,000 minutes – or around 2,300 hours. This translates into significant cost savings for any organisation, making the business case immediately clear.
