SIVAS.ERP

SIVAS.ERP is a specialised industry ERP for mechanical and plant engineering and for variant manufacturers in the German Mid-Market, developed and marketed by schrempp edv GmbH headquartered in Lahr in Baden-Württemberg. The product is positioned as a vertical solution rather than a generic ERP suite, with its functional centre of gravity around engineer-to-order and configure-to-order manufacturing scenarios. The target customer is a mid-sized industrial business between roughly 30 and 500 employees with complex products, project-driven order processing and a strong need for variant configuration and tight integration of engineering and commercial workflows. The vendor has decades of vertical experience in the DACH manufacturing market and is closer to specialist competitors such as ams.erp or proALPHA than to the broader horizontal cloud suites.

Functional scope

SIVAS.ERP delivers the full breadth needed for project-driven discrete manufacturing: sales and project quoting, variant configuration, CAD integration, BOM and routing management, MRP, production-order management and shop-floor data capture, plus integrated purchasing, inventory, finance and project controlling. The variant-configuration engine is one of the product's functional differentiators and supports rules-based configuration of complex machines and assemblies, with deep links into engineering bills of material. Project accounting and post-calculation are first-class workflows, reflecting the engineer-to-order DNA of the customer base. Standard finance, AR/AP and DATEV-aligned bookkeeping round out the suite for the German market.

Target segment and verticals

SIVAS.ERP targets German Mid-Market industrial businesses in mechanical and plant engineering, special-purpose machinery, electrical and process engineering, and other variant-rich discrete-manufacturing verticals. The functional sweet spot sits between roughly 30 and 500 employees with project-driven, engineer-to-order or configure-to-order order processing. Pure trade businesses, e-commerce-first SMBs or service-only organisations are less aligned with the product; for those use cases, broader horizontal suites such as Business Central, myfactory or Xentral fit better. At the upper end, customers with multi-entity international consolidation requirements or very large parallel project portfolios may find proALPHA, abas ERP or IFS Cloud a better match.

Architecture and deployment

SIVAS.ERP is delivered primarily as an on-premises product with a hosted-managed-service option through schrempp edv or qualified partners. The application is a thick-client / web-hybrid stack on Microsoft SQL Server, which is the standard combination for established Mid-Market industrial-ERP products in the DACH market. Open interfaces cover CAD systems, PDM/PLM platforms, MES and BI tools, plus the obligatory DATEV exchange for the German finance hand-off. The architectural model is conservative compared with newer cloud-native entrants, which is consistent with the customer profile: industrial businesses that prioritise long product life cycles, deep customisation and stability over the latest cloud delivery model.

Pricing and licensing

SIVAS.ERP is sold under classical perpetual or rental licensing with separate annual maintenance, plus implementation services charged on a project basis. The vendor does not publish a public per-user price list, which is typical for industry ERPs of this type. As a directional benchmark for a 50-user engineer-to-order deployment, software licences typically land between 60,000 and 200,000 euro, implementation services between 100,000 and 400,000 euro, and five-year total cost of ownership between 250,000 and 700,000 euro depending on the depth of variant-configuration and CAD integration. This places SIVAS.ERP in the mid- to upper-mid price segment of the DACH industrial-ERP market — below proALPHA and IFS Cloud for very large engineer-to-order deployments, but above generic horizontal cloud suites for the same number of users.

Selection considerations

SIVAS.ERP is a credible choice for German Mid-Market machinery and variant-manufacturing businesses that need deep configure-to-order and engineer-to-order workflows in a single product, with native DACH localisation and a vendor that focuses on the segment as its core market. Buyers should weigh the conservative on-premises architecture against newer cloud-native industrial ERPs, and the relatively focused partner network against the larger ecosystems around proALPHA, abas ERP or Business Central. For trade-only, services-only or pure cloud-first SMB use cases, a generic horizontal suite is usually a better fit. For German variant manufacturers in the 30-to-500-employee band, SIVAS.ERP belongs on the long-list alongside ams.erp, abas ERP and proALPHA.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

How long does it take to implement SIVAS.ERP?

Depending on complexity, an ERP implementation takes 3 to 18 months. Cloud solutions are often productive within 4–12 weeks, while classic mid-market ERPs need 6–12 months for requirements analysis, customising, data migration and training. More under ERP implementation.

How secure is SIVAS.ERP with regard to data protection?

For cloud ERPs, the server location (ideally EU/Germany), a data processing agreement (DPA) and BSI C5 or ISO 27001 certifications are key criteria. GDPR compliance should be explicitly documented by the provider. The exact arrangement depends on the industry, company size and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

How is SIVAS.ERP developed further?

Cloud ERPs typically receive monthly to quarterly releases automatically. On-premises ERPs have annual major releases with active patch maintenance. Release notes and the roadmap can be viewed at the vendor.

What happens to my data if I cancel SIVAS.ERP?

With cloud ERPs, a good provider guarantees data export in an open format (CSV, JSON, SQL dump). The contract should explicitly regulate the data return obligation, deletion period and format. The exact arrangement depends on the industry, company size and customising depth of the specific ERP setup.

Which support SLAs does SIVAS.ERP offer?

Standard support usually covers business days from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a response time of around 4 hours. Premium/24x7 SLAs come at an extra charge. With cloud providers, availability SLAs (e.g. 99.9%) are important — check the contract!
