The industry in upheaval

Especially in times of disruptive change, it is important that IT processes can be quickly adapted to changing requirements - brought about by digital transformation, for example. As SAP specialists, we help make your company fit for change.

By standardizing your core processes, a migration to the new SAP S/4HANA platform and the resulting opportunities for digitalization.

From product creation to inbound and outbound supply chain, intra-plant logistics, production, after-sales and billing processes, we can support you. Of course, we can also support you with cross-sectional functions such as purchasing, finance/controlling and quality management.

I like working at abat because there is a very pleasant, appreciative working atmosphere here with a lot of freedom. There is a lot of trust, so you also have the freedom to try out something new - but if it doesn't work out, there is also the necessary support. That's how I've learned so much! In addition, if you have problems while working in the home office, you can often quickly find colleagues who are happy to help you out via teams.
