SAP S/4HANA ranks #6 of 8 in ERP, with an Alt Score of 70. It is proprietary, sold by subscription and available on the web. 12 of 12 checklist rows are verified against a public source.

SAP S/4HANA is SAP's enterprise resource planning suite covering finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and procurement, offered as SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition, or an on-premise deployment. CRM, HR/payroll, and e-commerce are delivered through separately licensed SAP products (Sales Cloud, SuccessFactors, and Commerce Cloud) that integrate with the core ERP rather than shipping as native modules. Pricing is contact-sales only, billed on a subscription basis for the cloud editions.

Who it's for

Large and midsize enterprises that need a single ERP system for finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and procurement, deployed either in SAP's cloud or on the customer's own infrastructure.

What you get

Core financial accounting and general ledger, inventory and warehouse management, MRP-based manufacturing planning, and procurement, plus governance/risk/compliance and multi-entity, multi-currency reporting; CRM, HR/payroll, and e-commerce require the separately licensed SAP Sales Cloud, SuccessFactors, and Commerce Cloud products.

How it works

Customers subscribe to SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Public or Private Edition) under a contact-sales agreement, or license the on-premise edition for installation at their own facilities under SAP's General Terms and Conditions; other SAP products connect to the core ERP via SAP Integration Suite and prebuilt integrations.
