# Nextworld

Build what your ERP can’t. We design, build and run governed applications, automations and AI agents on Nextworld, alongside the SAP, JD Edwards and other systems you already rely on.

The Problem

## Your ERP runs the core. *Something else runs the rest.*

Every ERP leaves gaps. Teams fill them with spreadsheets, email approvals, side databases and, lately, quickly built side apps. Nextworld calls this Shadow ERP™. It never shows up on an architecture diagram, but it carries a real cost.

▲

### Time

Hours lost to re-keying and reconciling.

▲

### Risk

Processes that depend on one person or one file.

▲

### Accuracy

Decisions made on conflicting versions.

▲

### Security

Data in tools IT never approved.

▲

### Scale

Workarounds that break when volume grows.

Replacing the ERP rarely fixes this. Closing the gaps does.

Capability

## What we deliver on *Nextworld*

01

### Discovery and first build

We find the workaround that costs you most, then build a working replacement with your team in weeks. You see value before you commit to more.

02

### Applications and AI agents

Operational apps, portals, approval flows and agents that read documents, catch exceptions and act. Built from a specification, not a one-off prompt, so they hold up as your business changes.

03

### ERP extension and integration

Side-by-side extensions to SAP, JD Edwards and other systems of record, connected through REST APIs and MCP. Your core stays clean; everything we build stays upgrade-safe.

04

### Platform management

Environments, release promotion, security roles and ongoing enhancement, run by senior consultants so the platform stays governed as it grows.

The Platform

## One governed platform for the work *between your systems*

### Four pillars

▲

Build: Apps, portals, reports and dashboards, without writing code.

▲

Automate: Workflows that run across ERPs, teams and data sources.

▲

Unify: One source of truth for data now scattered across tools.

▲

Govern: Role-based access, gated promotion and full audit trails on everything built.

### AI that’s part of the platform

Nextworld Intelligence runs through every layer. Agentic development turns a plain-English problem statement into a specified, tested application. Agents work as digital teammates on documents and exceptions. Built-in machine learning surfaces predictions without a data-science team. All of it runs under the same permissions and audit trail as everything else.

Metadata-driven and upgrade-safe

How We Work

## Start with one process. Prove it. *Then expand.*

01

### Identify

A short Shadow ERP review with your process owners. We pick one workaround with a clear, measurable cost.

02

### Build

We design and build the fix with your team, often starting in a live build session.

03

### Deploy

It goes live inside your landscape, connected to your ERP and your data.

04

### Validate

We measure the result against the baseline agreed in step 1.

05

### Expand

Pick the next gap. Your team takes on more of the building as confidence grows.

Nextworld licensing is fixed-cost and transparent, with a free tier for testing a use case, so the first step is small on both sides.

Use Cases

## Where clients *start*

### Sales orders from customer POs

AI reads any PO layout, checks it against your master data and stages the order for review.

### Freight document matching

Bills of lading and carrier invoices matched to POs and receipts automatically.

### Month-end close tracker

Tasks, dependencies and owners in one workflow instead of a shared spreadsheet.

### Supplier compliance

Certificates and insurance checked on arrival, renewals chased before they lapse.

### Warehouse wave planning

An agent drafts the day’s plan against capacity and cutoffs; nothing commits until a supervisor approves.

Fit

## When Nextworld is the *right answer*

We deliver on SAP BTP, Neptune and Nextworld, so we have no reason to force a fit. This is how we advise.

### Nextworld fits when

▲

The gap sits between systems or across teams, not deep inside one SAP transaction.

▲

Business users need to own and change the solution after go-live.

▲

You want a working result in weeks, with AI and governance built in.

▲

Your core is SAP, JD Edwards or a mix you don’t plan to replace.

### SAP BTP or Neptune fits when

▲

The extension lives inside an SAP process and needs deep S/4HANA integration.

▲

You’re committed to SAP clean core and already hold BTP entitlements.

▲

Your team’s skills and roadmap are SAP-first.

### Both fit when

SAP stays the system of record and Nextworld runs the operational layer around it.

Where SAP is the better platform decision, we’ll tell you that instead.
