Replacing SAP SRM with SAP Lean Request
Are you facing the challenge of replacing your SAP SRM system or do you want to give your employees the opportunity to create procurements and requirements conveniently and intuitively?
Are you familiar with the SAP consulting solutions Lean Request and Lean Catalog?
This is a consulting solution that is fully integrated into your SAP system (ECC or S/4), which makes procurement convenient and intuitive.
Replacing SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) with SAP Lean Request can offer many benefits for companies. Here are some reasons why this change makes sense:
Modernization of processes: SAP Lean Request offers a more modern and user-friendly interface compared to SAP SRM, which increases user acceptance.
Increased efficiency: By automating and standardizing requests and approvals, processes can be handled faster and with fewer errors.
Integration of OCI Punchout catalogs: Thanks to the simple integration, you enable users to enjoy a familiar shopping experience with the help of web stores.
Use of internal catalogs and free text forms: With the Lean Catalog, you provide the user with defined and negotiated supplier assortments, stocked material in a structured way for fast and efficient procurement. Users can enter specific requirements and descriptions for items that are not available in the catalog.
Approval processes: Both catalog and free text requests can be routed through defined approval workflows to ensure that all procurements comply with internal policies.
Cost savings: Less manual intervention and more efficient processes, as well as error-free requirements, lead to lower operating costs.
Integration: SAP Lean Request can be seamlessly integrated into other SAP modules, enabling a consistent database and improved collaboration between different departments.
Scalability and flexibility: SAP Lean Request is flexible and can be adapted to the specific needs and growth of the company easily, without modification and at low cost.
Real-time transparency: Users can track the status of their own requests in real time, which improves communication and speeds up decision-making.
Future-proof: As SAP continuously invests in the further development and support of newer solutions such as Lean Request, it is a future-proof choice for companies.
Switching to SAP Lean Request can therefore help to increase efficiency and productivity, reduce costs and increase user satisfaction.
If you have any questions regarding the change or require more detailed information or experience reports, please contact conarum GmbH & Co. KG. We have been working closely with SAP consultants for years and have already successfully implemented many implementation projects.
We will be happy to provide you with all the information you need to make an easy decision for the Lean Request and Lean Catalog. Of course, we will be happy to arrange a meeting or a demo of the system.
The introduction of the SAP add-on “Lean Request” modernized our purchasing process, which was previously very time-consuming with forms and many manual activities. conarum provided support from the start of the project, set up the SAP add-on in the kubus SAP system and adapted it precisely to our customer requirements. Our requirements were implemented quickly and effectively at all times.
conarum supported us very well both during the project phase and during the implementation of LeanRequest. They have made a significant contribution to the successful implementation of the catalog tool in our company.
We would especially like to thank Mr. Straßer and Mr. Berner for their great support. Should we have company-specific adaptations in LeanRequest, conarum will also be our first point of contact for this.
