ABICS GmbH

What ABICS GmbH does

ABICS GmbH is a Bremen-based, privately held SAP consulting and product company with nine employees, led by two managing directors (Sebastian and Mehmet). It serves mid-market and enterprise customers in the DACH region across manufacturing, consumer goods/food/retail, and regulated industries (pharma, chemicals, energy), with TEEKANNE disclosed as a flagship reference customer.

The company's core offering is the Supplier Portal — an AI-powered supplier management and procure-to-pay platform built on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) and integrated with S/4HANA, developed using the SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model and orchestrated with n8n. The product is organized into two modules — Strategic Supplier Management (full lifecycle, master data, certificates, risk, performance) and Supplier Procure-to-Pay (onboarding to purchase order) — and is delivered in three deployment models: multi-tenant SaaS, customer-hosted BTP, and hybrid. AI capabilities are embedded across the platform for email classification, document extraction, supplier risk scoring, and data-quality assessment, with documented outcomes of up to 70% reduction in manual review effort at TEEKANNE. Beyond the product, ABICS offers SAP BTP development and architecture services (clean-core migration, Fiori modernization, identity management, hybrid integration) and full-lifecycle SAP consulting from roadmap through go-live.

Revenue is generated through a mix of SaaS subscriptions for the Supplier Portal, optional managed services for customer-hosted deployments, and project-based professional services for SAP consulting and implementation. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by event presence (Procurement Summit Hamburg, BME Symposium), webinars, and a content-led LinkedIn and website strategy. The CodeUp program — a Turkey-to-Germany SAP BTP talent pipeline with 2–3 month on-site rotations in Bremen — supports both hiring and brand-building in academic and tech communities.
