Endlich einfach - so haben Sie SAP-Software noch nie gesehen

About us

simple + intelligent = efficient

Our formula for success in the implementation of software projects.

What’s behind it?

Easy to use thanks to streamlined and human-centered design. Artificial intelligence for simple and quick processes coupled with efficient solutions that best support customers and employees to make their everyday lives easier.

Business - Design - Technology

A one-stop shop

We provide a unique combination of the very skills and ready-made solutions you need to ensure the success of your software project.

SAP Gold Partner

As a long-standing SAP partner, the SAP environment is our domain, both as a development partner and based on our many successful customer projects.

Human-centered design

We always start by identifying the user’s needs in order to develop solutions that help the user interact with the software.

SAP add-ons

We are big fans of the SAP standard system, but we also know that the standard software does not always meet your needs and can be customized and extended in various ways.

Top100 Award

We believe in “Innovation instead of stagnation” and are therefore always at the cutting edge when it comes to new technologies and trends.

A team of 180 experts

We are small enough to be flexible and agile yet large enough to implement projects quickly and successfully.

Cross-industry

Our client base includes companies such as adidas, Beiersdorf, Bayer, BASF, LIDL, SAP, tesa, and many more.

Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR is part of the sovanta DNA: showing commitment and taking social responsibility.
