As businesses scale, they often encounter growing pains: fragmented systems, manual processes, and limited visibility. Traditional ERP systems, while robust, can be rigid and costly to adapt. Enter modular, cloud-native ERP solutions like SAP S/4HANA Cloud and RISE with SAP, which offer flexibility, scalability, and embedded AI capabilities tailored for dynamic growth. 

Growth-stage companies today are expected to move fast and adapt constantly. Modular ERP meets this need by allowing organizations to deploy only the features they need today and scale later without major disruption. Cloud ERP enhances this agility further.

• Scalability: According to a Deloitte study, 90% of cloud ERP adopters cite scalability as a key benefit, enabling them to scale without re-architecting systems.
• Flexibility: Cloud ERP enables 24/7 access across geographies, empowering hybrid teams and global operations. Gartner projects that by 2026, 75% of all ERP deployments will be cloud-based.
• Innovation: Businesses using SAP S/4HANA Cloud benefit from quarterly updates, ensuring continuous access to the latest features, security patches, and compliance standards.
• Lower TCO: Nucleus Research finds that cloud ERP delivers 2.1x more ROI than on-premises ERP, thanks to lower infrastructure costs and faster implementation timelines.

SAP designed GROW with SAP specifically for scale-ups and midsize companies that need enterprise-grade ERP without the complexity of traditional systems. It includes:

This is SAP’s flagship cloud ERP, offering real-time analytics, AI-driven automation, and pre-configured best practices across industries. Companies using it report up to 50% faster month-end closings and 30–40% fewer manual processes.

Joule transforms the ERP experience by helping users interact with systems in natural language. It:

• Reduces search time across applications by up to 80%
• Generates real-time recommendations based on contextual data
• Helps automate reporting, forecasting, and workflows—freeing up teams for higher-value work

GROW with SAP comes with industry-specific content and processes based on SAP’s 50+ years of experience, so companies can avoid costly customisations and get started quickly.

With built-in tools and services, GROW with SAP helps businesses go live faster and continue evolving post-deployment.

• SAP’s modular cloud ERP is delivering real, measurable results for companies worldwide: 

• Olam Agri migrated to RISE with SAP on AWS and streamlined its global supply chain operations, improving sustainability tracking and cutting time-to-market across 60+ countries. 

• Bailey, a UK-based construction services company, implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud in just five months, cutting out paper-based processes and enabling digital remote work across departments. 

• FlexTOUCH Technologies adopted SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, leading to a 30% increase in production capacity and a 50% reduction in IT maintenance costs. 

• MOD Pizza, a US restaurant chain, used SAP to manage growth across 500+ locations, with integrated HR, finance, and supply chain capabilities powered by SAP Business Technology Platform. 

For growth-stage companies, agility isn’t optional, it’s critical. Traditional ERP systems often fall short in supporting fast pivots, lean teams, and new market expansion.

SAP’s modular cloud ERP offerings provide:

✅ The flexibility to start small and scale
✅ Embedded AI to automate and accelerate work
✅ Real-time visibility to drive smarter decisions
✅ Continuous innovation without disruption

As IDC puts it, companies using cloud ERP experience 47% faster time to new product introduction and 38% reduction in unplanned downtime.
