FocusWholesale Distribution   For mid-market wholesale distributors — companies between $20M and $500M in revenue — ERP modernization has historically meant long timelines, unpredictable costs, and multi-year programs that consumed leadership attention while the business stood still. The **GrowFast Package** was built to change that equation. It is a fixed-scope, fixed-price SAP Cloud ERP deployment, designed specifically for the operational reality of wholesale distribution — with AI and automation activated from Day 1. ## Five reasons GrowFast is different Everything about GrowFast is engineered around predictability, speed, and intelligence built in from launch. 01  ·  Go-Live in Weeks ### Production-ready SAP Cloud ERP in 12 weeks — not months Versus traditional S/4HANA Cloud programs that stretch into multi-year transformations, GrowFast compresses the timeline through a pre-built distribution cookbook and embedded best practices. 02  ·  Fixed Price ### Predictable cost. Clearly defined scope. Zero surprises. A defined price, a defined scope, and a defined timeline. The financial ambiguity that has historically made ERP transformation feel risky is removed by design. 03  ·  AI & Automation ### Joule co-pilot and Dintec AI Agents, live from Day 1 Most ERP programs treat AI as a future state. GrowFast inverts that model. Intelligence is built into the platform from launch — not added in a phase two conversation. 04  ·  Expand at Your Pace ### A cloud foundation for incremental growth and innovation GrowFast is a foundation, not a finish line. The Base Package establishes a clean platform; the Premium expansion extends it into supply chain, WMS, multi-country rollouts, and advanced AI — on your timeline. 05  ·  Zero Infrastructure ### Cloud-native SaaS — no servers, no hardware, no maintenance A modern SAP Cloud ERP footprint with no infrastructure burden. Lean IT teams gain enterprise-grade capability without the cost of managing it. ~12wk Production-ready SAP Cloud ERP 40–60% Faster than traditional S/4HANA Cloud Day 1 AI activation, Joule + Dintec Agents ## Two packages, one clear path GrowFast is structured around two paths — both production-ready, both AI-native, both engineered around how distributors actually operate. Base Package #### GrowFast Foundation Finance, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash and Supply Chain core. Built around 70 wholesale-distribution scope items, with Joule AI co-pilot included from Day 1. **Includes:** GL, AP, AR, asset accounting, period-end close, requisitioning, purchase contracts & auto-invoicing, sales orders, billing, core inventory & stock transfers. ~ 12 WEEKS Premium Package #### Intelligent Expansion Everything in Base, plus full SAP Cloud ERP Supply Chain scope, Dintec AI Agents (MRP & FX), advanced reporting, supplier and customer rebates. **Includes:** embedded WMS (scanner picking, bin-tracking, cycle counting), TMS integration, multi-country & LATAM rollouts, distribution KPIs, real-time analytics. 24 WEEKS · WAVE 1 + EXPANSION ## What's included in GrowFast Every GrowFast engagement combines four core building blocks — SAP Cloud ERP, distribution best practices, proven implementation methodology, and AI capability live from Day 1. ### SAP Cloud ERP, ready-to-run Fixed-scope deployment for Finance, Procure-to-Pay, Order-to-Cash and Supply Chain. The architecture, configuration and integration foundations are pre-built — ready to operate from go-live. ### Wholesale distribution best practices Industry-specific configurations are embedded into the deployment from Day 1. Finance closes faster. Procurement runs cleaner. Order-to-cash flows align with how distributors actually transact with customers and suppliers. ### Proven implementation methodology A pre-built distribution cookbook refined across 500+ SAP projects — covering organizational structures, charts of accounts, multi-warehouse management, and MRP design — eliminates weeks of configuration debate. ### Dintec AI Agents & Joule MRP, Operational Automation and Currency Exchange agents live from Day 1, alongside SAP's Joule co-pilot — embedded directly into the SAP Cloud ERP environment. Industry Accelerator Levers A pre-built distribution cookbook plus embedded WMS expertise — warehouse optimization without the cost of standalone EWM or third-party systems. ## Proprietary AI, purpose-built for distribution GrowFast Premium transforms materials planning from manually reactive to autonomously predictive. The Dintec AI Agents learn continuously from demand patterns, supplier behavior and order velocity — reducing stockouts, excess inventory and working capital drag. - **AI Material Planning** — continuous stock-to-requirement monitoring across all materials. - **AI Replenishment Optimization** — reorder points and inventory targets, automatically tuned. - **AI Lead-Time Intelligence** — learns supplier and customer behavior over time. - **AI Exception Detection** — surfaces pattern shifts and anomalies proactively. - **Currency Exchange Agent** — audit-ready, hands-off multi-currency operations. “ "AI is no longer a phase-two conversation. For mid-market distributors, it has to activate on Day 1 — or the ERP is already behind." — Dintec Consulting ## Outcomes that compound from quarter one The business case for GrowFast is operational, financial and measurable from the first quarter post go-live. - Faster financial close through unified GL, AP, AR and period-end processes. - Real-time inventory visibility with continuous AI-driven replenishment guidance. - Lower TCO through cloud-native infrastructure — no servers, no hardware, no maintenance. - Faster ROI because the value clock starts in weeks, not after a multi-year program. ## Why Dintec delivers GrowFast GrowFast is not a generic ERP install.
