SAP ERP Cloud Solutions delivered by Navigator Business Solutions

Why Navigator Business Solutions?

There comes a point in the life of every growing business when siloed or outdated, small-business software solutions are not enough.

For forward-looking companies that are scaling rapidly, this moment comes quickly. For other businesses with slower but consistent growth, it might take place over the course of three to 10 years. Inevitably, though, mid-sized businesses upgrade their systems to true ERP systems for the advantages of having a robust, end-to-end backend system that serves as a single source of truth, enables automation and standardized workflows , and brings the functionality to all departments that is needed to run growing or complex operations.

When that day arrives, most businesses choose an ERP from one of the major vendors, be it SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft.

If going with one of the major vendors' solutions, the more important choice becomes one of the implementation partner and consultants that will help make the ERP project a success. This is because ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software is a mature market, and the core functionality is already built into the systems. How the project is planned and the system implemented and configured for the needs of the growing business, is where the true differentiation lies.

This is why it isn’t just about getting SAP Cloud ERP, it is about gaining a strategic partner for the longevity of your business.

You Need a True Partner

We've spent the past 15+ years working with more than 300 customers, providing best-of-breed, integrated, cloud-based ERP systems as an SAP Gold Partner. So we understand the unique needs of diverse lines of business such as life sciences, consumer products, professional services, and distribution, among others, and how to make SAP Cloud ERP work well for a given industry.

“Navigator was very knowledgeable coming in,” says Christopher Beck , who was global head of IT for personal care products manufacturer, Harry’s, until earlier this year. “Not just the products, but the business side of it. They seemed to just understand. So when there were additional things that we were trying to do, they had business process expertise to help make it happen.”

A good implementation partner does more than just guide, though. It also listens to the needs of the business and supports it both during and after the system's rollout.

“Navigator has been so responsive,” says Shawn Stone , vice president of operations for life sciences manufacturer, BioDerm. “They understand our needs, and if they don't understand something, they get you to the person that can help you figure it out.”

Scott Harris, who was tasked with getting pharmaceutical contract manufacturer TriRx up and running in only three months , elaborates on this point.

“One of the really good things about Navigator is that we’re still in touch with the consultants who put it in,” he explains. “Normally after you've gone live, you get about 30 days of hypercare and then you are rolled into the support group and never hear again from the consultants who helped implement it. But we’re still in touch with our consultants. This has been outstanding because I need someone who understands my system, not just someone who can do helpdesk issues.”

“We had a really strong relationship with Navigator,” adds Heather Howard , CSCO at shoe brand, Rothy’s. “We could just speak incredibly clearly without any nuances. We would go to them and say, ‘Hey, you guys are the experts. Help us.'"

You Need Expertise

SAP Cloud ERP is highly configurable because it encompasses all areas of a business. There are standardized best practices-based implementations that can greatly reduce the complexity and configuration process, and we have developed several prepackaged industry solutions to make ERP configuration and rollout easier for small to mid-sized businesses. But to configure a system properly that effectively encompasses the needs and processes of a given business, it is important to have an implementation partner that really knows how the underlying system works and can work.

“If you ever use SAP, you're going to want a partner like Navigator,” says Matt Geary , director of IT for BioDerm. “Typical vendors would shy away and say things like, ‘We’re not trained or not certified in that area, so we’re not going to help you.’ Navigator, on the other hand, basically is like having SAP on staff.”

This sentiment is widely shared by other businesses that have worked with us due to our decades of experience working with SAP products.

“They definitely brought to the table a depth of experience with the platform,” explains Paul Schorr, the lead IT advisor who helped pen manufacturer uni-ball roll out ERP for its North American subsidiary . “Navigator didn’t bring in a generic ERP developer. It was definitely my favorite ERP implementation, and I didn’t lose a lot of sleep over it.”

You Need ERP Done Fast & Cost-Effectively

We understand that small to medium-sized companies are busy building their business and cannot afford a long, systems rollout or throwing lots of time and money at a new ERP.

That’s why we focus on cloud-based ERP solutions like SAP Cloud ERP, a solution that is built around industry best practices-based processes and is generally easier to configure and takes fewer resources to set up.

“I have been through quite a few enterprise software deployments,” adds Schorr. “I've never been through one for a multimillion-dollar company with one IT person, one finance person, one operations person and one consultant.

That was the entire scope of the team, and most of us had other jobs we were doing in addition to this project.” That’s because many of our solutions are configured out-of-the-box, says Harris at TriRX . “All you have to do is set it up, implement, and turn it on.”

SAP Cloud ERP FAQ

Why SAP Cloud ERP for mid-market manufacturers and distributors?

Because it’s a clean-core, multi-tenant cloud ERP with best-practice finance, supply chain, manufacturing, and projects that are ready to run. Quarterly innovation, embedded analytics, and Business AI help improve close speed, on-time delivery, and cash conversion deliver on Rapid Time to Results and quick ROI.

How does SAP compare to Oracle Fusion on time-to-value?

Public edition emphasizes fit-to-standard with packaged processes and GROW with SAP accelerators. This eliminates custom blueprinting, reduces workshops, custom design, and test cycles. In practice, fewer moving parts up front and fewer surprises during upgrades.

What about total cost of ownership (TCO)?

SAP’s public edition keeps the core standard, incorporating broad and deep functionality into the core, using BTP to address unique requirements, so continuous innovation and upgrades stay simple. Oracle often bundles multiple products to match breadth, which can add subscription and integration cost. Ask both vendors to itemize core, add-ons, integrations, environments, and success plans.

Do we lose flexibility with a “clean core”?

No. You configure deeply, extend safely on SAP BTP (low-code, pro-code, events/APIs), and integrate without modifying the core. This preserves upgradeability while supporting differentiation (pricing logic, portals, mobile apps, planners’ tools).

How strong is manufacturing and supply chain depth?

SAP’s manufacturing, inventory, MRP, Predictive MRP and ATP capabilities are mature and widely adopted. Advanced ATP and warehouse options, which are included in the core, scale as complexity grows. Many Oracle comparisons require add-ons or adjacent products to match parity vet that in demos.

Will analytics and reporting be real-time?

Yes. S/4HANA runs on an in-memory data model with embedded analytics and KPIs on live transactions. Finance and operations leaders see operational reality without waiting for nightly batches. The paradigm moves from periodic closing to continuous closing for real-time visibility into the company’s performance.

What about multi-entity, multi-site, and global tax/compliance?

This is a core SAP strength. Public edition supports multi-company and plant scenarios, global tax, and localization content key for roll-ups and shared services. SAP has no peer in these areas.

How does pricing work now that SAP moved away from FUE in Public?

Public edition pricing is user/role-based with modular line-of-business add-ons. Integrations that create documents may require Digital Access. We build a transparent bill of materials users by role, add-ons by metric, environments, success plan so you can forecast cleanly.

How does SAP AI show up in daily work?

Embedded “Business AI” supports anomaly detection, forecasting, document automation (e.g., AP), and next-best actions inside business processes, not just in a separate tool. It accelerates close, demand/supply decisions, and service responsiveness.

Integration risk: who has the edge?

SAP exposes robust APIs and events, and BTP provides managed integration services. Because more capabilities live natively in the suite, you typically need fewer separate products (and integrations) to cover end-to-end scenarios.

Upgrades and change management how disruptive?

Quarterly releases are automated and predictable. All updates are delivered in “off mode”, only being activated selectively as needed by customers. Clean-core governance + test automation + extensions on BTP keep upgrades lightweight versus custom-heavy models that break each cycle.

How do we avoid a never-ending implementation?

Use fit-to-standard, define non-negotiable outcomes (close speed, OTIF, inventory turns), phase scope, and lock change control. Navigator’s templates, data accelerators, and industry playbooks keep momentum and decision velocity high.

Security, reliability, and compliance?

Public edition runs in SAP’s secure, certified cloud with role-based access, auditability, and regional compliance content. DR, sandbox, and success plan tiers are selectable based on your risk profile.

Can SAP handle hybrid realities (one legacy plant, two modern sites)?

Yes. With a 2-tier approach, start with core processes, integrate legacy or third-party applications where needed, and phase modernization. Clean-core plus BTP lets you bridge without stalling the program.

How does Navigator Business Solutions reduce risk?

Mid-market focus, manufacturing/distribution depth, and repeatable delivery. We co-build the pricing BOM, map users by role, right-size add-ons, estimate Digital Access, and run a crisp plan: fit-to-standard → data → integration → testing → go-live → hypercare.
