The German automotive market filters IT vendors on one brutal requirement before any technical question: consultants who work in German — daily, fluently, directly with German rollout teams, no translator, no English fallback. That market is thin even inside Germany. We staff it as complete teams.
Mercedes-Benz needed fifteen SAP consultants in an outsourcing model — delivered and maintained by us, working as one unit from day one. Start to result:
team leasing, B2B — for a major SAP rollout
fluent German + contract-ready + large-scale SAP
tech and German checked in parallel — not from the CV
a team from day one, not fifteen contracts
the client manages the project, not the vendor bench
Delivered through our partner abat Plus for Mercedes-Benz.
"We didn't expect an external team to gel this fast. After a month they were working faster than our own people — who have been on this project for years."

These are the modules that separate a car-industry rollout from a generic ERP project — and what each ran in the engagement. The full cross-industry module bench lives on the SAP staffing page.
| Module | What it ran in the project |
|---|---|
| SAP JIT/JIS | Component deliveries synchronized with the assembly-line production sequence — the heart of the rollout. |
| LO-VC | Vehicle variant configuration (engine, trim, color) — the foundation of configured-vehicle sales. |
| SD-EDI / Scheduling Agreements | EDI with OEMs and suppliers; forecast and JIT delivery schedules. |
| SAP VMS | Vehicle lifecycle management for dealers and importers — order to sale. |
| SAP DBM | The manufacturer's dealer-network management. |
| SAP CRM & Billing | Customer service and billing for after-sales — leasing, service, subscriptions. |
| SAP TM | Transportation management across the global supply chain. |
200+ AUTOSAR engineers in our active base — Classic Platform and Adaptive, across modules. Available on the same team-leasing model as our SAP automotive delivery: German-capable, first CVs in 48h. Read the AUTOSAR page →
One team covered the full automotive process chain — line-synchronized supply, vehicle configuration and sales, after-sales, logistics — with no subcontractors added mid-project.
Fluency claimed on a CV is a risk; fluency checked in a live conversation is a fact. Every candidate, early in the process.
Selection optimized for complementary roles and one synchronized start — the gel-time was designed out before day one.
B2B administration, rotations and replacements sit with us for the life of the engagement — the client manages the project, not the bench.
The commitments we sign against. Most vendors won't put theirs in writing.
Tell us the modules and the timeline — the language bar is our starting point, not an obstacle. First CVs land 48 hours after the briefing.
Book a Discovery Call — First CVs in 48hYes — it's the defining requirement of our German automotive work: fifteen SAP consultants, every one fluent in German, delivered as a single team in eight weeks. Fluency is verified in live conversation during screening, in parallel with the technical check — never assumed from a CV.
The automotive-specific stack: JIT/JIS line-sequenced delivery, LO-VC variant configuration, SD-EDI with scheduling agreements, VMS, DBM, CRM & Billing for after-sales, and TM for transport logistics — plus the standard ECC/ABAP/Basis bench on the SAP staffing page.
In the outsourcing model, no — the team works on B2B contracts held and administered by us, with rotations and replacements our responsibility for the life of the engagement. If you'd rather hire SAP specialists permanently, that's the recruitment model — same bench, different terms.
Put a slot in a calendar, or send the brief and we will come back to you. Either way you are talking to a partner, not a queue.
Thirty minutes, no deck. Whoever's calendar suits you — they take the call themselves.
Roles, platform, headcount, timeline. A link to a brief is even better.
