Process Runner
Cut SAP Data Entry Time by 90% With Excel Automation
Manual SAP work is slowing you down. Process Runner automates SAP transactions across all modules—from material masters to journal entries to vendor creation. Work directly in Excel without backend SAP modifications.
Instead of 2 hours
We reduced daily cash posting from two hours to 20 minutes. Process Runner GLSU eliminated rekeying vendor data and increased accuracy across the board.
Time Savings
Process Runner gave us the most effective path to S/4HANA migration. We migrated 300,000 master data records and re-engineered 40 processes.
To ROI
We processed 845 sales orders in one operation, saving 45 hours of work. The team adopted it quickly and we’ve taken on more projects.
Entries Posted
GLSU handles our complex journal entries and eliminates errors before posting. We process 9,000-line entries that SAP can’t handle natively.
Efficiency Gain
Without deep technical knowledge, we create massive data loads in minutes. The flexibility and speed have transformed our operations.
