How PROS Helps SAP S/4HANA Customers Unlock Profitable Growth

If you’re a customer of SAP S/4HANA Cloud for your Enterprise Research Planning (ERP) capabilities, then you’ll want to learn how PROS is helping businesses just like yours unlock profitable growth.

Our profit and revenue optimization software platform, the PROS Platform, seamlessly integrates with SAP S/4HANA, enabling you to leverage our AI-powered pricing solution to develop multi-channel pricing strategies and manage multiple price lists in real time. In addition, you can also leverage our AI-powered configure, price, quote (CPQ) solutions to give your selling teams a competitive edge. 

The PROS + SAP Partnership

As a long-time technology partner with SAP, we've completed hundreds of integrations with SAP customers over the years, helping businesses in 40+ industries drive their digital pricing and selling initiatives.  

“A majority of our customer base has SAP as their ERP on the backend. In fact, PROS has a dedicated team working on nothing but SAP integrations, alongside our preferred partner BGSF for these deployments, so we're very familiar with helping our customers get data in and out of SAP." 

Greg Davoll, PROS Vice President of Product Management.

The PROS Platform includes bi-directional data integration, including: 

From SAP to PROS: 

• • Product master data 
  • Customer master data 
  • Invoice data 
  • Pricing structure 
  • Pricing condition data 
  • Currency exchange rate 
  • Units of measure and conversions 
  • And many more... 

From PROS to SAP:

• • SAP order/quote real-time pricing guidance 
  • Pricing decision data (pricing conditions, customer agreements, rebates) 
  • And many more… 

Multiple Deployment Options

PROS provides SAP-certified content to bootstrap data integrations between the PROS Platform and SAP S4/HANA. SAP S/4 HANA Cloud Package can be integrated quickly and easily into your SAP environments, improving interoperability with SAP applications and reducing overall IT investment costs and risks.

PROS certified integration content/connectors are available for both public and private cloud versions of SAP S4/HANA:

• • The PROS Connector for SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud—This is part of our standard offering, and it allows integration through the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud API. 
    
    • No explicit installations in SAP S4/HANA. 
    • PROS provides standard integration content for SAP middleware. 
    • PROS Integration team supports with installations and configurations. 

Here you will find the link to the PROS SAP certification for Public Cloud Edition of SAP S4/HANA. 

• • The PROS Connector for SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud—PROS partnered with BGSF to develop this connector, which is a dynamic solution that accesses data in real time, and extracts and calculates relevant information directly from the SAP S/4HANA database. It offers a user-defined configuration to create your own extraction templates and send information to an FTP server or local machine with multiple output formats.  
    • The connector also enables bi-directional integration to and from SAP S4/HANA, e.g. in case you would want to also extract price conditions from PROS in batches at regular schedules, the connector makes it possible without having to develop any in-house ETL.  
    • You can configure the behavior of destinations for the output files (such as customer, product, and data conditions) and the input file (price conditions), with file names and FTP credentials.  

“We have SAP customers on both the public and private cloud, whatever deployment you have, we have a solution for you that is simple and straightforward to leverage the benefits of our profit and revenue optimization software.”

What’s more, it’s easy to connect SAP to your preferred CRM since the PROS Platform includes native support for Salesforce Sales Cloud and Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Sales. This allows you to introduce and enhance quote-to-case, customer specific price agreements, subscriptions, and rebates with PROS, without disrupting your ERP business workflows.
