Three solution areas.
One consistent decision-making context.
FUTURA maps sourcing, supplier processes, and complex project awards directly inside the SAP system – from competition management and supplier lifecycle management to complex construction and project awards.
Manage requests for quotation and requests for proposals with SAP integration
When requests, price comparisons, and award decisions are handled outside the system, transparency, comparability, and traceability are lacking. FUTURA supports structured RFI, RFQ, and RFP processes, evaluations, and multi-stage competitive procedures directly within the SAP environment.
- RFI, RFQ, and RFP
- Price comparison and evaluation
- Negotiation rounds and e-auctions
Qualify, onboard, and evaluate suppliers – systematically rather than administratively
Gray areas and additional work arise when suppliers are present in the system but qualifications, certifications, and re-qualifications are managed manually. FUTURA integrates supplier lifecycle processes into SAP through workflow-driven procedures.
- Supplier evaluation
- Supplier qualification
- Onboarding and record keeping
Issue requests for complex project and service awards and manage and settle them in a structured manner.
If item lists, supplements, and the service entry are not based on the same structure, transparency regarding costs, services, and project progress is compromised. FUTURA supports GAEB-based item lists and item list-based awards in the SAP context – from request through to billing.
- Requests based on GAEB and item lists
- Supplement management
- Service entry and billing
Process data becomes the context for decision-making.
Every procurement process generates context: Requirements, quotations, prices, terms, supplier information, history, and evaluations.
FUTURA connects this procurement context with the business context in SAP and makes it usable for specific purchasing tasks – such as evaluating quotations, classifying discrepancies, or preparing decisions in a transparent manner. This ensures that intelligence is not generated separately from the purchasing process, but right where it is needed for the next decision.
Two products for different procurement environments
Consistently manage strategic purchasing
Sourcing, quote evaluation, negotiation, and awarding, as well as supplier qualification and evaluation – all integrated into SAP S/4HANA.
Issue requests for construction and projects and award contracts
Investment projects, item lists, and awarding processes – integrated into SAP S/4HANA (MM-SRV)
The areas where FUTURA has the greatest impact on SAP purchasing
SAP is in use – yet critical sourcing and awarding processes tend to still take place outside the system. That’s exactly where FUTURA comes in: With SAP-native processes that keep the procurement context together and make it usable for better decisions.
Ensuring that purchasing and the SAP context stay together
From upper-mid-market companies to complex corporate structures: FUTURA steps in wherever SAP is already the leading system. Sourcing and awards are not set up as separate process and data environments, but are integrated with the existing business context.
SAP-native instead of a parallel world
Procurement processes remain connected to the relevant SAP data and existing process logic – without an additional sourcing environment alongside SAP.
Context instead of multiple data silos
Materials, suppliers, purchase orders, contracts, and histories from SAP interact with requirements, quotations, and award information from the procurement process.
End-to-End instead of Excel and e-mail
All the way from requests to evaluation and negotiation through to the awarding of contracts, the process remains structured and transparent.
Openness towards new intelligence
The process context provides the foundation for leveraging procurement expertise, business logic, and modern AI to address specific tasks in purchasing.
