On YouTube, the German-language ERP space follows a clear structure: most active channels belong to ERP vendors explaining their own products – joined by a handful of vendor-neutral consultancy, SAP-specialist and educational channels. Pure neutrality is rarer here than in the English-speaking space.
This list gathers important German-language channels (not individual videos) and transparently labels each one as a vendor, consultancy or neutral educational channel, so you know the perspective it speaks from. Because the /en/ audience works in the German market, these are the channels you are most likely to meet in practice. The international, English-language ERP channels – including the well-known independent advisories – are on our page on English-language ERP YouTube channels.
Language: German · youtube.com/@sapdach · vendor channel · active
SAP's official German-language DACH channel: S/4HANA, cloud ERP, product explainers, events and customer stories for the German-speaking market. For users, the first-hand source straight from the world's largest ERP vendor – naturally from a vendor perspective.
Our take: Vendor channel – useful for SAP product knowledge and roadmaps, but a marketing perspective, not a neutral comparison.
Language: German · youtube.com/@weclapp.software · vendor channel · active
Vendor channel of the German cloud ERP weclapp (part of the Exact Group since 2022): feature demos (CRM, inventory management, contract and helpdesk management), tutorials, partner webinars and the „weclapp ERP Wissen“ series with ERP basics for small and mid-sized businesses.
Our take: Vendor channel – good for product tutorials and ERP basics from an SMB angle; the selection is centred on its own product.

Channel of the Augsburg-based cloud ERP xentral, widely used in retail and e-commerce: product intros, „#NextGen“ walkthroughs, live demos, Xentral Academy learning videos and shop/marketplace connectors.

Our take: Vendor channel; very relevant if you run inventory/ERP in online retail, otherwise product-specific.
Language: German · youtube.com/@trovaritag8916 · independent consultancy · active
Channel of the Aachen-based Trovarit AG, known for vendor-neutral ERP selection via its IT-Matchmaker platform and the „ERP in der Praxis“ study series. Content on selection methodology, digitalisation projects and webinars (e.g. ERP funding, process digitalisation).

Language: German · youtube.com/@WiLMo-Germany · open educational resource · evergreen
Freely accessible university teaching videos (open educational resources) on business informatics, with a dedicated topic area on ERP systems (architecture, development, operation). Didactically prepared, with no commercial interest.
Our take: Neutral educational channel – ideal for the conceptual foundations of ERP systems, independent of any vendor.
Because the audience of this /en/ section is English speakers working in Germany, where the ERP market is German-language. Most active German ERP channels belong to vendors (SAP, weclapp, Xentral, proALPHA, Haufe X360 and others), joined by a few consultancy, specialist and educational channels. We transparently label each channel as vendor, consultancy or neutral educational so you can judge its perspective, even though the videos themselves are in German.
We researched German-language YouTube channels around ERP and checked each one individually: does the channel really exist, is it active, and how clear is the ERP connection. Purely promotional one-off videos or dormant channels were deliberately left out. The assessment is editorial and honest – we favour no vendor and label vendor channels as such.
The important English-language ERP channels – including well-known independent advisories such as Third Stage or Panorama and the big international vendors – are on a separate page. Keeping the two lists apart by language makes each one clearer. If you work in the German market, the vendor channels here are the ones you will most often encounter in practice.
