The problem

It’s all in SAP.

Almost none of it reaches sales.

Example: 
Schäfer Shop
, office supplies and facility equipment, SAP S/4HANA

The result: Every day, existing customers slip through the cracks.

Customers buy from competitors

Because the competitor showed up at the right moment. The reorder window closed and nobody noticed.

The right products never get pitched

Because nobody can see the gap.

Quotes never get followed up

Because follow-ups get buried in the daily grind.

How it works

Complex under the hood.

Simple in SAP.

Every night, your system exports orders, customers, products, and pricing. Acto runs the analysis, scores every account, and writes the results to the sidebar. No live access required.

What Acto finds

What’s hiding in your SAP data.

Re-scored every night.

Every customer is measured against their own history. Only what’s worth a call or a visit reaches your reps.

Kraus & Meier GmbH
Risiko

Time between orders up 14 days

Kraus & Meier is ordering less often than usual, and their quote win rate has been dropping since July.

Bauer Technikwerkstatt GmbH
Chance

Cross-sell: striking tools

Bauer buys hand tools regularly but never striking tools. Similar shops also buy long-life grease.

No order in 172 days

Blatter usually orders every 32 days. Similar customers regularly buy pliers.

The order is missing 5 of the 8 quoted product groups. Worth a follow-up on the rest.

Business logic

Acto learns your business.
Before it sends a single insight.

Before going live, Acto learns your rules. That’s how you get recommendations that fit your business instead of generic alerts.

Customer types
and buying rhythms

One customer orders every week, another only when a project comes up. Acto learns when silence is normal and when it’s a red flag.

Your language

FAQ

Questions

about AI for SAP.

Is there AI for SAP that helps sales?

Yes. Acto analyzes order and customer data from SAP and shows your reps which customers are ordering less and which products they’re missing. The insights show up in a sidebar right inside SAP. The data can come from SAP S/4HANA, R/3, or Business One.

How is this different from SAP Joule?

Joule is SAP’s general-purpose AI assistant. It answers the questions you ask it. Acto works on its own: every night it analyzes each customer’s history and hands your reps specific insights, like churn risk, missing product lines, or open quotes.

We’re in the middle of moving to S/4HANA. Can we still do this?

Yes. Acto doesn’t need a project inside SAP, just the daily export. That works from R/3 the same way it does from S/4HANA. After the move, the export gets set up once more.

How long does rollout take?

About six weeks: kickoff, data delivery and audit, checks on sample customers, then training and go-live. Your IT team spends roughly two to three days on it.

Where do reps see the insights?

In the office, as a sidebar right next to the account record in SAP, and in Outlook if you want. On the road, in the Acto app, with a call plan before the meeting and a dictated report after.

Do we need an SAP project for this?

No. Acto sits on top of your existing SAP. Nothing gets rebuilt, and the data arrives via a daily export.

Does Acto access SAP directly?

No. Data arrives via export or SFTP. There’s no live access, and Acto does the heavy lifting.

Where is our data processed?

Stored in Frankfurt, with language models hosted in the EU. Prediction models train only on your data.

How is Acto different from a BI dashboard?

A dashboard shows numbers someone still has to interpret. Acto does the interpreting and only gives your reps the insights worth a call or a visit, with the reasoning.
