SAP S/4HANA on your radar?
fabular takes over suitable extensions outside the SAP core and supports your Clean Core strategy. Your SAP system stays close to standard – connected via released SAP interfaces, from a single source in Austria.
Clean Core is the approach recommended by SAP for implementing extensions in an upgrade-stable way – via released interfaces, either within the system (ABAP Cloud) or alongside it (side-by-side). fabular is such a side-by-side platform for your industry-specific processes: additional screens, custom logic and specialist processes run on the fabular Business Platform – connected to SAP S/4HANA via released SAP interfaces such as OData APIs.
The goal: a lean SAP core, release upgrades that are easier to plan, and specialist processes your teams can develop further themselves – through configuration and low-code, supported by fabAI.

Planning your move to SAP S/4HANA? Then now is the best moment to reorganize your customizations – before they move into the new core. SAP recommends implementing extensions in an upgrade-stable and decoupled way (Clean Core). For your industry-specific processes, that is exactly where fabular comes in.
Both approaches map your special processes. The difference shows in updates and release upgrades.
Is industry logic built deep into your SAP? For these areas, fabular comes with ready-made industry solutions.
fabular is built as a set of services on Kubernetes – with open interfaces, separate storage and a dedicated security service. The platform runs in the cloud, hybrid or in your own data center.
fabular complements your SAP system: the SAP core remains in place for your core processes, while fabular takes over the customizations and specialist processes that used to be programmed into the core.
