SAP Cloud ERP in Manufacturing: Get Started Quickly and Securely with QPPS

The manufacturing industry is under enormous pressure to adapt. Supply chains are becoming more volatile, customers expect faster delivery and greater transparency, while costs and complexity are on the rise. Many mid-sized manufacturing companies therefore want to modernize their ERP and manufacturing processes – but shy away from traditional transformation projects that drag on for months or years, tie up significant internal resources, and carry budget and project risks.   

SAP QPPS as a pragmatic entry point to the cloud

The key question is therefore: How can manufacturing companies achieve a rapid entry into a cloud-based project setup? This is precisely what SAP-qualified partner package solutions (SAP QPPS) are designed for: preconfigured packages that combine SAP software with a partner’s industry expertise, services, and extensions. The scope is clearly defined, and the implementation is based on proven methods – ensuring speed, transparency, and significantly lower project risk. 

Predictable investment with the valantic Manufacturing Solution  

With the valantic Manufacturing Solution, we offer an SAP-certified QPPS solution for Public Cloud ERP from SAP, tailored to medium-sized companies in discrete manufacturing. The approach is consistently Public Cloud by Design: fit-to-standard, clear processes, rapid implementation. This enables a go-live in just four months – a reliable, standards-based start in SAP’s public cloud ERP solution without complex custom developments.  

A common obstacle in ERP transformations is the difficulty of estimating costs. QPPS deliberately addresses this: defined scope, clear project roadmap, transparent costs. The valantic Manufacturing Solution enables you to get started with predictable initial investments—with a package that lays a solid foundation for future expansion phases.

End-to-end manufacturing: From order to production   

In day-to-day operations, it’s not the individual function that counts, but the end-to-end process. The valantic Manufacturing Solution is therefore designed so that manufacturing companies can map their core processes end-to-end—from the customer inquiry to the evaluation of production performance.  

The core components of our solution are: 

• Seamless order management and customer service
• Production planning and control through to the finished product
• Purchasing & supply chain processes for improved material availability  
• Finance & Controlling for transparent cost and profit management 
• Product Lifecycle Management as a bridge between product data and delivery 

This results in a standards-based ERP solution that can be quickly deployed while simultaneously laying the foundation for continuous improvement and expansion through the modular SAP Cloud ecosystem.  

Analytics & AI from SAP Joule: Greater transparency, better decisions  

Cloud ERP from SAP is particularly effective when data can be consistently utilized in day-to-day operations. With integrated analytics functions, critical operational questions can be answered in real time: Where are bottlenecks? Why are there downtimes? Which production lines or products deviate from target values?  

To this end, our QPPS partner solution integrates a modern SAP analytics package and makes KPIs directly accessible to production and operations teams, including root cause analysis and continuous improvement (Kaizen/CI). This enables the monitoring of factors such as availability, performance, and quality in manufacturing.  

In addition, SAP Joule comes into play as an integrated AI assistant: It supports users in their daily tasks such as quickly finding information, interpreting metrics, or preparing for decisions. This accelerates processes and reduces the workload on teams without deviating from standard logic. 

Why Cloud ERP – and why choose valantic?  

Cloud ERP stands for speed, innovation, and standardization. Companies benefit from:  

• automatic updates every six months – with no additional costs for upgrade projects 
• web-based access and rapid availability 
• continuous innovation (analytics, AI, automation) 
• Scalability for growth and new business models 

At the same time, the standardized, integrated cloud architecture creates a unified data foundation across all core processes. Production, supply chain, and financial data are seamlessly integrated, without silos or data disconnects. This not only increases transparency and efficiency but also strengthens operational resilience: companies can respond more quickly to bottlenecks, fluctuations in demand, or disruptions and make informed decisions based on consistent real-time data.  

And with valantic comes the decisive advantage: deep SAP and manufacturing expertise, as well as an implementation approach that consistently relies on SAP Accelerate and Fit-to-Standard.
