Basware Invoice Lifecycle Management now available on SAP Store

Basware's Invoice Lifecycle Management platform is now listed on SAP Store, the official SAP marketplace. The move lets finance teams deploy AP automation before SAP Cloud ERP go-live, accelerating ROI during long migrations.

Basware has launched its Invoice Lifecycle Management solution on SAP Store, making it easier for enterprises to find and deploy AP automation alongside SAP Cloud ERP. The platform connects via a certified native SAP Business Technology Platform connector and supports 60+ global e-invoicing mandates, helping finance teams realize value before ERP migration completion.

Basware Invoice Lifecycle Management is now available on SAP Store, the official online marketplace for SAP and partner solutions. The listing formalizes a partnership that already runs deep: more than 600 SAP customers, including over 100 live on SAP Cloud ERP, already use Basware. Customers include Heineken, Danone, Engie, and Cummins.

SAP Cloud ERP migrations typically take 18 months or longer. Finance teams face a long wait to see returns on the investment. Basware’s SAP Store listing addresses this timing problem by making it simpler for finance and IT leaders to evaluate and deploy a specialist AP layer that can start delivering value before ERP go-live.

Architecture and integration

Basware connects to SAP Cloud ERP through a certified native SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) connector. No custom middleware is required. The platform is validated for SAP Cloud ERP compatibility, security, and compliance, and aligns with SAP’s clean core strategy.

The architecture matters for AI deployment. Finance and IT teams can move quickly without rebuilding integrations or accumulating technical debt. The platform delivers autonomous, touchless invoice processing at enterprise scale alongside compliance coverage for 60+ global e-invoicing mandates across 190+ countries.

Three value drivers

Basware accelerates value across three dimensions for finance and IT leaders.

Faster time to value. Basware can be deployed before SAP Cloud ERP go-live. AP benefits start delivering ROI while the ERP project is still in flight, through working capital improvements, compliance coverage, and supplier network access. This strengthens the business case for ERP investment because the AP layer is already paying back.

A cleaner core. Most SAP estates have accumulated AP customizations over years. Each one is a tax on future upgrades. Customers see up to a 10x reduction in AP-related ERP customization by managing AP complexity outside the SAP core. Validated, enriched invoice data flows back into SAP Cloud ERP through the BTP integration, delivering sharper financial reporting and better spend visibility without bloating the core.

One AP layer across mixed landscapes. Most global enterprises run several ERPs mid-migration across regions. Basware provides a single Invoice Lifecycle Management platform that sits across SAP and non-SAP systems. Every entity operates on the same processes, the same compliance framework, and the same supplier network, regardless of where each part of the business sits in its SAP Cloud ERP journey.

What this means for finance leaders

For CFOs, working capital gains and compliance coverage start before SAP go-live, strengthening the board case for ERP investment.

For CIOs and finance systems leads, the architecture is clean. A certified BTP connector, no custom middleware, and clean core certification mean the AP layer extends SAP Cloud ERP without adding technical debt.

For heads of global business services and global process owners, the operating model is consistent. One AP layer across mixed ERP landscapes delivers global harmonization without waiting for ERP consolidation.

Basware is a Spotlight Plus SAP Partner. The platform works alongside leading global system integrators including Accenture and Deloitte, both of whom have built dedicated Basware practices to deliver AP transformation that accelerates SAP Cloud ERP programs.
