SAP Consulting
More than 20 years optimizing processes in SAP. Finance, logistics, and everything in between.
What is SAP consulting and when do you need it?
SAP consulting is the professional service that assists companies with everything related to their SAP ERP: from the initial implementation to the optimization of existing processes, including migrations to new versions, roll-outs to subsidiaries, or the resolution of specific issues in particular modules.
Not all companies need the same thing. Some are starting with SAP for the first time and need someone to help them configure it from scratch in a way that fits their actual processes. Others have been using SAP for years but know they are not getting the most out of it. Others are facing a migration to S/4HANA that they cannot afford to manage without experience. And others have an international expansion project that requires replicating their SAP model in new subsidiaries.
In all these cases, GROUPmee’s SAP consulting has something specific to offer.
Areas of specialization
Finance
The SAP financial module is the core on which all others depend. A solid configuration allows accounting to work in an automated way, ensures faster closings, and makes financial information available in real time for decision-making.
The GROUPmee team has deep expertise in the finance module and its integration with Controlling, which allows handling projects ranging from initial implementation to optimization of closing processes, adaptation to regulatory changes, or integration with other financial tools.
Some common projects:
- Configuration and optimization of the chart of accounts and financial structure
- Automation of monthly and annual closing processes
- Integration of SAP with reporting and BI tools
- Adaptation to regulatory changes
- Financial consolidation projects in corporate groups
Purchasing and procurement
The Materials Management module controls the entire purchasing cycle: from the request to the payment to the supplier, including the receipt of goods, invoice verification, and management of procurement contracts.
Good consulting allows for reducing the purchase cycle time, eliminating duplicates, improving control over spending commitments, and facilitating negotiation with suppliers thanks to clearer data.
Some common projects:
- Implementation and optimization of the procurement cycle
- Configuration of framework contracts and purchasing conditions
- Integration to eliminate information silos
- Automation of invoice verification
- Supplier standardization projects
Sales and distribution
This module manages the entire commercial cycle: customer orders, deliveries, billing, prices, and commercial terms. When properly configured, it reduces order errors, speeds up delivery times, and gives the sales team the visibility they need to do their job.
Some common projects:
- Configuration of pricing conditions and commercial rates
- Integration with purchasing and outbound logistics
- Automation of the Order-to-Cash process
- Adaptation of billing to regulatory requirements
- Integration projects with e-commerce or CRM platforms
Production planning
For industrial companies, this module is critical: it controls the planning of production orders, capacity management, materials control, and the traceability of the production process.
Specialized consulting allows reducing planning times, improving control over production costs, and detecting bottlenecks before they affect delivery times.
Some common projects:
- Implementation of the planning and manufacturing cycle
- Integration with purchasing and finance
- Configuration of management and optimization of planning parameters
- Digitalization projects of the workstation on the shop floor
Warehouse management
Efficient warehouse management has a direct impact on operational costs and the ability to serve customers on time. The module allows controlling stock movements, optimizing merchandise placement, and managing picking and shipping operations with precision.
Some common projects:
- Implementation and configuration of warehouse management
- Migration to Extended Warehouse Management
- Integration with logistics automation systems
- Optimization of inventory processes and stock control
Main SAP consulting services
The migration to SAP S/4HANA is the most important SAP project for many companies in the coming years. SAP has announced the end of support for previous versions of SAP ERP, which makes migration a decision that cannot be postponed indefinitely.
But a migration to S/4HANA is not just a technical upgrade. It is an opportunity —and also a risk— to redesign processes, clean up historical data, eliminate obsolete developments, and take advantage of the new capabilities offered by S/4HANA: real-time processing with SAP HANA, more modern interfaces with SAP Fiori, and a cleaner architecture that facilitates integrations.
GROUPmee supports companies throughout this entire process: from the initial assessment of the current system status and the most appropriate migration strategy (Greenfield, Brownfield, or selective data conversion), to project execution and post-go-live stabilization.
Companies with a presence in multiple countries or with several subsidiaries face a specific challenge: how to replicate the central SAP model in new entities, respecting local requirements (tax, legal, and operational) without losing the coherence of the global system.
A poorly planned roll-out can turn into an endless project, full of local exceptions that accumulate to make the system practically unmaintainable. The key is to design a global template that is robust enough to cover most local needs and flexible enough to absorb differences without breaking the global logic.
The GROUPmee team has experience in roll-out projects across multiple countries, with all the complexity that entails: tax adaptations, multi-language, multi-currency, and coordination between local teams and the central team.
One of the most common situations in companies with SAP installed for years is the accumulation of custom developments, patches, and workarounds that have been added to solve specific problems. Over time, the system becomes difficult to maintain, updates become complicated, and the internal team no longer fully understands why certain things work the way they do.
The process adaptation and standardization consulting starts with an analysis of the current state of the system, identifies developments that can be eliminated or replaced with standard functionality, and proposes a simplification plan that reduces technical debt without interrupting business operations.
Any SAP consulting project has, sooner or later, a technical dimension: a custom development, a specific report, an integration with an external system, or a performance improvement. In many consulting firms, this part is outsourced to a third party, which generates coordination problems, downtime, and loss of knowledge.
At GROUPmee, the technical analysis and ABAP development team is part of the same team that carries out functional consulting. That means the consultant who designs the process and the programmer who implements it work together from the beginning, which reduces misunderstandings, speeds up execution, and ensures that the technical development exactly meets the needs of the business.
Sectors in which we work
Why choose GROUPmee as an SAP consultancy
There are many SAP consulting firms on the market. The difference is not always in the certifications or the number of consultants; it often lies in more concrete things: whether the team that sells the project is the same one that executes it, whether there is a stable point of contact throughout the project, whether the consultancy understands your business or only understands SAP.
Some aspects that define the way GROUPmee works:
More than 20 years of real experience. Not in the technology sector in general, but in specific SAP projects, with the complexity that this implies. GROUPmee consultants have seen many different cases and know how to anticipate problems before they arise.
The integration between the functional and technical sides is not a minor detail. It prevents misunderstandings, reduces time, and ensures that the developments fit exactly what the business needs.
Experience in automotive, food, retail, energy, and pharma is not generic. It involves knowing the particularities of each sector and understanding how SAP can address them.
SAP projects last for months. The relationship between the company’s team and the consulting team matters. At GROUPmee, that relationship is nurtured from the beginning: clear communication, well-managed expectations, and a team that is available when needed.
An SAP project without rigorous management becomes a project that drags on, becomes more expensive, and generates frustration. GROUPmee provides methodology, monitoring, and the ability to scale or adapt the team according to the project’s needs.
