Accelerate your ERP transformation with SAP GROW Fast
Designed especially for small to mid-sized companies, SAP GROW Fast provides an accessible entry point into SAP’s cloud-based ERP platform. Companies can start with core capabilities such as finance, supply chain, or procurement and expand their system over time as their business grows.
ERP transformation is one of the most important technology decisions an organisation will make.
Yet traditional ERP projects are often associated with long timelines, high complexity, and significant implementation risk.
SAP GROW Fast introduces a different approach.
By combining preconfigured best practices, modern cloud architecture, and a structured implementation framework, organisations can implement SAP Cloud ERP faster while maintaining a clean and scalable system architecture.
Users can interact with the system through Joule, SAP’s AI-powered co-pilot assistant, enabling a more intuitive and conversational way to access data, execute processes, and generate insights.
Within approximately 90 days, organisations establish an ERP backbone supporting:
Financial management and reporting
accounting, payables, receivables, assets, cash management and financial close
Purchasing and supplier operations
requisitions, supplier purchasing, contract management and invoice processing
Sales and revenue processes
quotations, order management, billing and returns
Inventory and operational control
inventory management, goods movements and stock visibility
Cost control and financial planning
margin analysis, cost management and financial planning
Real-time analytics
embedded financial and operational insights
AI-driven interaction
Joule acts as the primary interface, allowing users to query the system, trigger processes, and retrieve insights conversationally instead of navigating traditional ERP menus
Together, these capabilities provide a complete Cloud ERP finance foundation running the core processes of the organisation, with an AI-first user experience that simplifies how people interact with enterprise systems. At KPS, we support organisations throughout this journey, from early readiness assessments to implementation and continuous optimisation. As an early adopter of SAP GROW Fast, we work closely with SAP to bring real-world insights and proven transformation expertise to our clients.

FAQs
Is SAP GROW Fast a new ERP product from SAP?
No. SAP GROW Fast is not a new ERP product. It is a prescriptive, trimmed implementation scope of SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, designed to accelerate time-to-value by focusing on the capabilities most customers typically need at go-live. The package includes a Minimum Viable Scope of around 70 predefined scope items across finance, sales, procurement and supply chain, The scope reflects real-world usage patterns derived from more than 2,000 SAP cloud ERP customers worldwide.
The underlying platform remains SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, which today runs thousands of customers globally. Importantly, SAP’s cloud ERP journey started more than 20 years ago, first with SAP Business ByDesign and later with S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, meaning the technology behind GROW Fast builds on two decades of continuous cloud ERP experience and real-world customer adoption.
GROW Fast is simply a faster way to adopt one of the most mature cloud ERP platforms in the market, giving CFOs a proven foundation for compliance, real-time financial insight and AI-enabled operations.
What does SAP GROW Fast include?
SAP GROW Fast is an implementation approach that helps companies launch SAP Cloud ERP quickly using predefined best practices and a structured project scope.
Instead of a complex, open-ended ERP project, organisations start with a focused foundation covering core processes such as finance, sales, and procurement. This allows companies to go live faster while reducing implementation risk.
Who is SAP GROW Fast designed for?
SAP GROW Fast is designed for growing companies that want to implement a modern ERP system without the complexity of traditional ERP projects.
It is particularly relevant for small & mid-sized organisations that want to move directly to a cloud-based ERP platform that can scale as the business grows.
Is the KPS 90-Day Cloud ERP for SAP GROW Fast suitable for subsidiaries in a two-tier ERP architecture?
Yes. The KPS 90-Day Cloud ERP for SAP GROW Fast is well-suited for subsidiaries in a two-tier ERP landscape, where the headquarters runs a central SAP ERP platform while subsidiaries operate on a more agile cloud-based system.
By deploying SAP Cloud ERP at the subsidiary level, organisations can quickly standardise core processes such as finance, procurement, and sales while maintaining integration with the broader enterprise landscape for group reporting and governance.
This approach is particularly valuable for subsidiaries, newly acquired entities, or divestments, where companies need to establish a stand-alone ERP foundation quickly while remaining aligned with the overall enterprise architecture.
Can the ERP system grow with the company?
Yes. SAP Cloud ERP is designed as a scalable platform.
Companies can begin with a focused scope and gradually extend their system with additional capabilities, new business processes, or further SAP solutions as their organisation grows.
Why implement SAP GROW Fast with KPS?
Implementing ERP successfully requires more than technology expertise. It requires understanding business processes, industry challenges, and transformation strategy.

Our combination of SAP expertise, industry knowledge and transformation experience enables organisations to implement ERP faster while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term growth. This allows them to:
• Gain real-time insights into their business
• Standardise and optimise processes
• Reduce IT complexity
• Scale their operations as they grow
How is it possible to go live with SAP GROW Fast in such a short timeframe?
SAP GROW Fast accelerates implementation by combining a clearly defined initial scope, a streamlined SAP Activate methodology, and preconfigured accelerators.
The first deployment focuses on a Minimum Viable Scope (MVS)—typically one legal entity, one country version, and a predefined set of ERP processes based on SAP best practices. By avoiding custom design and focusing on standard processes, projects stay on the critical path for rapid delivery.
In addition, the SAP Activate methodology is optimised for speed, with non-essential tasks removed for the first wave while maintaining governance and quality checkpoints. A structured timeline with milestone sign-offs—such as scope freeze, configuration approval, and go-live readiness—ensures progress and decision velocity throughout the project.
What does “90-Day Cloud ERP” actually mean in practice?
“90-Day Cloud ERP” refers to the first operational deployment of SAP Cloud ERP using a predefined scope and accelerated delivery model.
A typical SAP GROW Fast project follows a structured timeline that includes:
- Project kickoff and system provisioning
- Fit-to-Standard workshops to validate scope
- Configuration and data preparation
- End-to-end solution walkthrough and testing
- Final readiness checks and production go-live
Because the scope is predefined and decision-making is time-boxed, the initial deployment can typically be completed in approximately 6–8 weeks, after which the organisation can continue expanding functionality through additional waves.
What is included in the initial go-live scope?
The first wave focuses on a Minimum Viable Scope designed to establish a stable Cloud ERP foundation.
This typically includes:
- Core ERP processes such as finance, procurement, sales, and inventory management
- Approximately 70 predefined scope items based on SAP best practices
- One legal entity and one SAP-delivered country localization
- Standard SAP Business AI capabilities such as Joule base features
The goal is to deliver a working ERP foundation quickly, enabling customers to begin operating on SAP Cloud ERP and then expand functionality in subsequent waves.
What happens to requirements that fall outside the initial scope?
Requirements beyond the Minimum Viable Scope are not ignored—they are structured into a backlog for future waves.
During Fit-to-Standard workshops, requirements are classified as either:
- Within Wave 1 scope and implemented immediately
- Enhancements or extensions scheduled for later waves
This phased delivery model ensures that the project maintains its accelerated timeline while allowing the solution to expand over time as business needs evolve.
How do you maintain control and governance in such a fast project?
SAP GROW Fast embeds governance directly into the delivery model through milestones, sign-offs, and structured decision management.
Key checkpoints typically include:
- Scope Freeze after initial workshops
- Configuration and data sign-off during realization
- Solution walkthrough acceptance in testing
- Go-live readiness approval before production cutover
All activities are tracked in SAP Cloud ALM, ensuring full transparency across scope, tasks, testing, risks, and quality gates.
