Common mistakes to avoid with GROW with SAP
Expecting heavy customisation
GROW with SAP is built on standard processes; extensions go on SAP BTP.
Underestimating data preparation
Fast projects still need clean data.
Too few key users
Even short projects need business time.
Skipping change management
Faster projects need faster adoption.
A worked example: a fast-growing D2C brand
This scenario is a composite of common situations, not a specific client.
A direct-to-consumer brand has grown quickly on spreadsheets and an entry-level accounting tool. It needs a scalable ERP without a long project.
With GROW with SAP, the team adopts standard order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and finance processes, with GST and e-invoicing built in.
The project runs in a few months, and the brand can add warehouses and channels without adding IT staff.
