Elemica’s Sales Order Management & Collaboration certified integration with RISE for SAP S/4HANA® Cloud, gives you a trusted integration path to do it all.

A Certified Bridge to Your Digital Core

Elemica enables a certified, and simplified integration into SAP S/4HANA RISE — including ingestion of structured and unstructured orders, translation into sales orders, and full visibility through the order lifecycle.

You gain:

  • Clean-core friendly integration using SAP’s standard APIs
  • Digitized order processing for every customer segment, including the long tail
  • End-to-end process visibility and exception management from order intake to fulfillment

Why Leveling-Up Your Order Management Matters Now — Not Later

Many organizations defer B2B integration until after their ERP migration. But that delay can create downstream disruption and lost momentum. With Elemica, you accelerate business value by integrating external partners proactively and in parallel with internal modernization efforts — a Gartner-backed best practice.

Operationalize Your Customer-Driven Supply Chain

Customer fulfillment and service leaders know that not every customer should be treated the same. Elemica empowers muti-channel integration strategies and customized order management — enabling tailored SLA handling, exception management logic, and prioritization based on strategic value. These capabilities map directly to published industry best practice approaches to customer segmentation during S/4 migrations.

Accelerate Integration Timelines and Confidence: Deferring B2B integration and modernization until after go-live exposes fulfillment teams to operational risk. Elemica accelerates format agnostic order intake integration timelines — ensuring operational readiness from day one.

Customer Segmentation-Driven Value: Elemica enables differentiated order handling by customer tier, geography, or strategic value — aligning with emerging S/4HANA customer segmentation strategies to improve OTIF and cost-to-serve metrics.

Resilience for M&A and Transformation Scenarios

If your organization is navigating a carve-out, acquisition, or a staggered SAP S/4HANA rollout, Elemica provides the integration continuity and flexibility required to avoid service gaps and support multi-system integration landscape.
