OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

Construction and engineering companies run many projects at once, each with its own budget, schedule, subcontractors and billing terms. Margins are made or lost in the detail, so cost control has to be timely and accurate.

SAP S/4HANA provides project structures and work breakdown, budgets and commitments, procurement and subcontracting, equipment and plant maintenance and billing by milestone or progress, all posting to the Universal Journal. Project managers see committed and actual costs against budget in real time.

Results analysis and revenue recognition support percentage-of-completion accounting where required.

Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.
