Drive Business Decisions With a Feature-Rich Tool
Angles for SAP allows you to empower your business decisions with governed data discovery and self-service analytics.
Data Model and Extractor
Built-in knowledge of SAP enables automatic extraction of data from production SAP instances, interpreting your company’s SAP data model, application logic, and customizations and allowing rapid implementation. Angles for SAP takes a full or configurable delta extraction from the relevant SAP tables, and automatically interprets the master and transaction data, the SAP data dictionary, and customized settings. It has no impact on SAP performance. Upon receiving the newly extracted data, Angles for SAP rebuilds the model. The solution uses configuration files outside the source code to build this model, which allows for rapid addition of Z-tables or Z-fields and makes Angles for SAP smart enough to work plug-and-play on any SAP system.
Key Features
- Automatically adapts to any changes in SAP configuration and updates data accordingly.
- Google-style search functionality allows users to quickly find information by searching for keywords.
- Includes out-of-the-box templates, easily customizable dashboards, process model reporting, drag-and-drop Angle building, and drill-down functionality enabling anyone, regardless of their SAP expertise, to interact with critical information.
Built-In Intelligence
Loaded with unique, built-in, cross-process intelligence, Angles for SAP makes your ERP transactional data easy to understand. It enriches the data with more than 600 calculated fields for supply chain and financial analytics. This added intelligence enables business users to analyze their processes horizontally across the entire value chain – from purchasing via production and warehousing and sales to FI/CO.

- Detailed action lists highlight operational issues, exceptions, and bottlenecks – and their causes.
Self-Service Insights
Instead of presenting your business team with a series of pre-defined reports produced by IT-literate people, Angles for SAP includes a self-service user interface that empowers business users to find the answers to ad-hoc questions without IT assistance. The platform offers three output options:
- A browser-based GUI for laptops/mobile devices.
- An SAP-Certified transaction for the execution of Angles directly in SAP.
- The ability to easily export its enhanced data to third-party BI tools.
Angles for SAP self-service analytics and understanding of SAP configuration enable your team to not only control process performance, but also process conformance – such as ensuring compliance is controlled, data is maintained, and planned dates are updated.
Key Features
- Drill down to understand the root cause of issues and use drag-and-drop capabilities to enrich a view with information from other process areas.
- Simplify data warehouse and BI system designs, reducing the development effort, and reducing the risk of long reporting projects that contain incorrect data or calculations.
- Free IT resources from custom report development projects and user training.
How it Works
Angles for SAP works ‘’plug-and-play” on any SAP system to collect and prepare data so it is suitable for reporting. It understands context, connections, and integrations, and it simplifies data for business users. It then creates insights into what is happening at an operational level right now and in the near future by enriching the data with pre-built supply chain and finance calculations, on a transaction level (execution status, order bottlenecks) and in the form of operational KPIs (delivery reliability, stock level).
These insights create answers to business questions. Insights can then be published directly or distributed by being pushed to or pulled by third-party BI tools.
Angles for SAP allows us to completely think differently.
