EXA STORY
Our History
Our digital transformation solutions and services are built on the latest SAP and other cutting-edge technologies, ensuring that our customers benefit from value-adding solutions that optimize their business operations and manage distributed locations effectively. Our close collaboration with SAP in the areas of S/4HANA, SAP Cloud Platform, and Analytics means that we are always at the forefront of technology, offering our customers the most innovative and first-rate digital transformation consulting.
In 2021, EXA AG joined hands with SNP Schneider-Neureither & Partner SE, opening up excellent opportunities for both companies to leverage their synergies to better serve our client base worldwide. SNP is a world-leading provider of software for managing complex digital transformation processes, most known for its powerful CrystalBridge® transformation platform and its unique BLUEFIELD™ approach to facilitate SAP S/4HANA integration.
Our journey of innovation and evolution is ongoing. We are continuously enhancing and adding new features to our Global Value Chain (GVC) and Operational Transfer Pricing (OTP) solutions. With our latest offering – Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) – we are responding to market needs and following our vision of shaping a sustainable future through digital innovation. At EXA, we are committed to staying ahead of the curve and providing our customers with the most comprehensive and innovative solutions for their business needs.
In 2018, EXA launched its OTP solution, designed to help large multinational enterprises (MNEs) monitor and manage transfer prices. This solution has gained popularity among many MNEs, helping EXA to attract some big names and gain a firm foothold in the field. EXA’s OTP solution is now being used globally, solidifying the company’s position as a major player in this market.
Imagine a world in which businesses can manage their costs and profitability effortlessly. That world is now a reality, thanks to EXA’s cutting-edge GVC solution. Originally known as Group Costing and Profitability (GCP), GVC underwent a transformative journey from mid-2015 to the present day. EXA invested significant time and resources into developing the solution to operate on the latest SAP technologies including HANA and Fiori/UI5. The result is a state-of-the-art solution with powerful features such as Analytics, Product Costing, Actual Costing, Unrealized Profit in Inventory, and a range of simulations that can enhance your end-to-end value chains. With a name that more accurately reflects its purpose, the GVC solution is poised to revolutionize the way in which businesses manage their costs and profitability.
In 2012, a group of savvy executives and experts from SAP founded EXA in Germany. They quickly expanded with subsidiaries in India and the US, offering SAP consulting services to manufacturing and logistics businesses. However, their vision was always to create innovative solutions alongside their clients to fill gaps in the market.
As pioneers in the HANA space, EXA was among the first to provide a groundbreaking solution for detecting emerging issues for a major American manufacturer of farm machinery and industrial equipment. They also delivered multiple projects with high-tech process and engineered products manufacturers in the area of SAP PLM.
EXA always sought opportunities to develop their own solutions and collaborated with customers to create their first groundbreaking solution, Process Control. Today, this solution has been implemented in numerous companies worldwide and continues to be an industry leader.
