SAE for consistent processes
SAE is for everyone
No matter which ERP system you use - SAE software is ready for use in any architecture.
SAE is 100% compatible with SAP®.
All SAE applications are 100% compatible with the SAP product portfolio - and work seamlessly with SAP R/3® and SAP S/4HANA®.
If available, the SAE platform can be connected to multiple SAP systems.
Much more than just
SAP ®
Thanks to our open architecture and flexible interfaces, we integrate seamlessly into a wide range of common ERP systems, including proALPHA, PSIpenta, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and AvERP.
Of course, we also offer a standard interface for connecting other ERP systems.
SAP interface:
The smart SAE CPQ IC
The SAE CPQ IC (Interface Cockpit) controls communication and data exchange with SAP bidirectionally and 100% consistently. Whether SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA, the interface technology developed by SAE guarantees smooth communication. This means you benefit from maximum flexibility when interacting with SAP®.
The SAE CPQ IC consists of three components: the "communication layer", which contains the interface technology, the "Customiser", which coordinates the data exchange between SAP and SAE CPQ, and the "Analyzer", which controls the function for monitoring the document system in SAP:
Suitable for every situation
Transfer of the product configuration from SAP or reorganisation of the product configuration and
of the set of rules in the SAE platform
SAP LO-VC / AVC available?
Have you already created variant/product configurations in your SAP system (LO-VC/AVC)?
Transfer your existing SAP variant configurations, including the complete set of rules and master data, 1:1 to the SAE platform so that you can use them in sales worldwide.
Add sales-relevant data (images, videos, texts, 3D models, etc.) via drag & drop and country-specific rules via no-code functionality and make this enriched product data available to your global sales teams at the click of a mouse.
No LO-VC/AVC, but SAP in use?
You have not created any variant/product configurations in your SAP system and are looking for a 100% SAP-compatible CPQ solution?
Create new variant configurations and sets of rules easily, intuitively and graphically in the SAE Platform. Decide for yourself whether the set of rules created in SAE Platform should be transferred to SAP or whether you only want to transfer the configuration results - such as configuration valuations, (sales order) parts lists, routings, prices, items, texts, ... - for an SAP quotation or order.
SAP interface - the data transfer in detail
The complete transfer logic can be customised and thus enables comprehensive transparency of the connection
You decide what you want to adopt for your CPQ process

Yes, SAE provides a CPQ system (Configure Price Quote) with a special Interface Cockpit (IC) for SAP, which ensures a bidirectional and 100% consistent data exchange.
The SAE platform is generally compatible with various systems such as SAP, proALPHA, PSIpenta, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and AvERP. Integration of the platform with other systems is absolutely possible - many of our customers do not use SAP.
Our dedicated Interface Cockpit (IC) for SAP was developed specifically for customers with SAP - for customers without SAP, other bi-directional interfaces are used for data exchange.
In addition to SAP, the SAE platform is compatible with many different systems, including proALPHA, PSIpenta, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and AvERP.
The main benefit of SAE interfaces is the ability to enable seamless and 100% consistent data integration between different business systems, improving process efficiency and data reliability.
