Our Approach
We identify and address the root causes of underperformance in your SAP ECC environment, focusing on real-world operational impact beyond technical fixes.
A deep dive into current system behaviour, operational workflows, and team pain points to pinpoint critical areas for improvement.
Developing targeted interventions that simplify complexity, automate repetitive tasks, and improve data integrity within your existing SAP ECC footprint.
Establishing frameworks and practices to sustain optimisation gains, ensure long-term system health, and adapt SAP ECC as business needs evolve.
Why Cogent2

Operational Intelligence
Every SAP ECC implementation develops quirks. We identify patterns of underperformance that slow teams, impact P&L, and undermine strategic goals.
Impact: Delayed reporting impacts strategic decision-making and compliance, tying up finance teams in manual tasks.
Cogent Approach: We analyse the entire financial close process, identifying choke points and recommending targeted optimisations within FI/CO and integration points for faster, more accurate reporting.
Impact: Poor master data quality leads to errors in inventory, purchasing, sales, and financial reporting, undermining forecast accuracy and operational trust.
Cogent Approach: Our consultants review master data creation and maintenance workflows, suggesting governance structures, validation rules, and process automation to ensure data integrity across SAP ECC.
Impact: Customer dissatisfaction, increased operational costs due to rework, and lost sales opportunities from incorrect stock visibility.
Cogent Approach: We map the order-to-cash flow from customer order entry to delivery, identifying and optimising steps where delays occur, such as ATP logic, pricing procedures, and WMS integration.
Impact: Teams are slowed down by waiting for critical information, leading to sub-optimal decisions and reduced trust in the ERP as a source of truth.
Cogent Approach: Our technical and functional consultants analyse high-impact Z-reports, assessing their ABAP performance and advising on optimisation, or recommending standard SAP functionality or BW alternatives.
