We believe finance operations can be autonomous. SAP is powerful at recording the enterprise — but to run finance around it you assemble a stack of bolt-ons that don’t natively speak to the ERP: Ariba for procurement, a separate CLM for contracts, a content layer for invoices, Advanced Financial Close for the close, each an after-the-fact integration. And getting to an outcome means memorizing transaction codes. Vakari orchestrates the whole spine — procurement, AP, contracts, and the close — on one data model, driven in plain language, run end to end by agents that decide, act with full autonomy, and validate their own work. Not a bot that automates a click. An agent that owns the outcome.
Vakari is accountable for the work; your team oversees it and focuses on operational excellence. SAP is the system of record and the engine underneath — but the decision-heavy work still lands on your people, an army of consultants, and a wall of spreadsheets. Vakari Agents assist, complete, and check each task below, so finance scales without scaling headcount.
The gaps that show up on the connected spine of procurement, AP, contracts, and the close — the work SAP records but leaves your team, and a stack of add-ons, to run.
Touchless AP over MIRO needs a dedicated content-automation layer; without it, invoices are keyed by hand. Vakari reads and codes each invoice on arrival, validates it against the contract, and creates and manages the accrual automatically.
Matching invoices against POs and goods receipts across FI and MM triggers rework whenever the data disagrees. The agent matches automatically and posts the ones that fully match.
Ariba is powerful but sits apart — integration effort, slow supplier onboarding, and low casual-user adoption are common themes. Vakari captures procurement at the source, on the same record as AP and the close.
Even SAP couldn't do CLM on its own data model — Ariba Contract Intelligence is delivered by Icertis, a separate solution to integrate. Vakari makes the clause a live control that validates every invoice, natively.
Invoices sit in multi-level approval chains — especially when approvers are away — with no clear status. The agent routes, escalates, and shows where everything stands in real time.
Accelerating the close means standing up Advanced Financial Close and its templates on top of the core. Vakari manages all accruals autonomously and monitors the sub-ledger continuously — not once a month.
Configuration, customization, and every upgrade pull in SAP consultants and Basis time — the learning curve keeps casual users out. Vakari adapts by configuration — a policy change is a rule, not an SAP project.
With ECC mainstream support ending, finance automation built inside the ERP is at risk of being rebuilt on S/4HANA. Vakari runs the finance spine on top — independent of whether you're on ECC or S/4HANA.
Follow one contract through the spine — the same record pricing the request, validating the invoice, and posting the accrual — and posting back to SAP as the system of record.
Vakari reads your procurement policies and the vendor’s own terms — price, renewal window, approval chain — and drafts a compliant, coded request against the right vendor within seconds of a quote, before the auto-renew locks in.
When the invoice arrives, the same clause validates the unit price in real time. An overbill against the master agreement is caught and held before payment — exception, clause, and variance in one place.
Vakari creates the entry from the same contract terms, audits its own result, posts it, and builds the full audit support behind it — including the technical accounting memo where one applies, such as an ASC 842 lease treatment. Reconciliation has nothing to reconcile, because the record was connected the whole time.
SAP stays your system of record. Vakari orchestrates the connected work around it — validating the vendor, the invoice, and the accrual against one contract — and posts back to SAP.
Not automation of a click — an agent that reasons over your SAP data, decides with accuracy and policy, and validates its own work before a human ever confirms.
Opens, fills, and completes SAP transactions end to end — request to PO to posting — accurately and in policy. Done, not queued.
From a lease request: classify, build the schedule, draft the audit-ready memo, and post the amortization JEs straight into SAP.
Continuously monitors for vendor fraud, variances, and erroneous transactions across entities — catching what a monthly review never would.
Here’s the tell: even SAP’s own solutions don’t natively speak to the ERP. Ariba, Icertis for contracts, the content layer for AP, Advanced Financial Close — each is an after-the-fact bolt-on you integrate, sync, and chase an audit trail across, and Ariba in particular is well known for being hard to connect back. The hand-off between them is where visibility dies — the disconnect tax, inside one vendor’s own ecosystem.
Vakari becomes the single source for your finance data — no more assembling a stack of SAP add-ons and stitching them together to run the spine. — One connected record, from the first step of procurement to the posted entry at close.
Built for multi-entity enterprises on SAP — on S/4HANA today, or on ECC and planning the move. A partner isn’t a pilot — it’s a company that shapes the product, proves the outcome, and sets the standard the rest of the market follows.
