Let’s talk Use cases

Use cases

One platform. Many ways to start.

These are the most common ways companies put Lhotse to work today. Most start with one and add the next within months.

Built for SAP

  1. 01

    SAP-first procurement platform

    Your procurement front end on top of SAP S/4HANA.

    Lhotse becomes the single entry point for every purchase: requests in a sentence, catalogs and punch-outs in one search, approvals in Teams. Everything is written to S/4HANA as requisitions and orders, so SAP stays your system of record.

    • One entry point for every requester
    • Requisitions and orders created directly in S/4HANA
    • No new procurement suite to roll out
    • SAP S/4HANA
    • Microsoft Teams
  2. 02

    SAP Ariba enhancement

    Get more out of the Ariba you already have.

    Lhotse works inside SAP Ariba. Guided buying gets an intake that understands a sentence, every requisition is checked before approval, and sourcing events are created, run and awarded by agents. Adoption goes up because the hard parts disappear.

    • Intake and checks inside guided buying
    • Sourcing events created and run by agents
    • Higher adoption, fewer tickets to procurement
    • SAP Ariba
  3. 03

    SAP automation with SAP agents

    Agents that do the work inside SAP.

    Agents take over the repetitive work in your SAP landscape: checking requisitions, assigning material groups, chasing order confirmations, keeping master data clean. They work next to SAP Joule and log every step they take.

    • Requisition checks and material groups
    • Order confirmations and delivery dates
    • Works alongside SAP Joule
    • SAP S/4HANA
    • SAP Ariba
    • SAP Joule

More ways to start

  • Tail spend on autopilot

    Small purchases, negotiated.

    Requests nobody had time for are bundled, sent to suppliers through one link and negotiated by agents. Buyers approve the result.

    • SAP Ariba
    • Jaggaer

  • Quotes and bills of quantities

    Supplier documents, read and structured.

    Quotes, spreadsheets and GAEB files become structured positions with a confidence score, ready for comparison and award.

    • SAP Ariba
    • SAP S/4HANA

  • Buying for everyone

    For people who aren’t buyers.

    Employees ask in Teams or the browser and get the right answer and the right process. Maverick spend goes down without a training.

    • Microsoft Teams
    • Google Chrome
    • Microsoft Edge
