Case Study: AVEBE achieves faster, more agile contract management and seamless SAP integration with Mendix

Avebe Develops Contract Management Front-End to SAP ERP

AVEBE, a global leader in potato starch products, faced a fragmented, largely paper-based contract management process that left it without visibility into order history and customer buying patterns and exposed the business to pricing variances, inconsistent approvals, and legal/audit risk. While SAP handled core back-end processes, customizing it was costly and slow, and a .NET rebuild felt rigid—so AVEBE sought a faster, more flexible alternative.

AVEBE selected the cloud-based Mendix platform and delivered a multi-device contract-management app in 30 days that integrates with SAP via web services. The solution automates routing, approvals and business rules, creates approved contracts in SAP, and supports several thousand contracts annually—standardizing terms, improving auditability and forecasting, and giving the company greater agility and faster iteration than .NET development.
