Freelance SAP consultants · Eastern Europe

The SAP talent pool your competitors haven't found yet.

We give SAP integrators and in-house SAP teams access to experienced freelance consultants across Eastern Europe. Most of them work through local networks and never appear on the platforms everyone else is searching. We vet them, match them to your project and plug them into your team.

Team builder

Staff each phase, then scale down

Pick a project type

Watch the team fill as the project moves through the SAP Activate phases, and roll off once their work is done. You pay for the people the phase needs, not the people a bench happens to hold.

Illustrative staffing plan. Actual team shapes depend on your scope.

The pool

Senior SAP people who aren't on everyone's radar

Eastern Europe has trained SAP consultants for two decades, through global delivery centres, local integrators and large rollouts across the region. Many of the best have gone freelance. They find work through referrals and local networks, so they rarely show up on the international platforms and recruiter databases.

That is our network. We know these consultants personally, we know what they delivered, and we can tell you who fits your project before you spend a day interviewing.

Time zone
CET to EETSame working day as your DACH and Western European teams, at most one hour apart.
Contracts
EU-based freelancersInvoiced within the EU, under one framework agreement with us.
Languages
English, plus [German / others]Client-facing consultants, comfortable in workshops and steering meetings.
Delivery
Remote or on siteRemote by default, travelling for blueprint workshops, go-live and hypercare.
Who we work with

Built for SAP integrators. Open to SAP customers.

SAP integrators and partners

Your pipeline grows faster than your bench. We fill the gaps so you can say yes to the next project.

  • Subcontracted consultants who work under your project lead and methodology
  • Cover for scarce skills: EWM, TM, MDG, BTP, Employee Central Payroll
  • Extra hands for the Realize peak, data migration and hypercare
  • Discreet: consultants represent your brand to your client

Companies running their own SAP projects

Your internal team owns the system. We add the specialists you need for a rollout, an upgrade or a new module, without a long-term hire.

  • Single experts for a module or a workstream
  • Interim support while you hire permanently
  • Clean handover to your team when the work is done
Engagement models

One consultant or a whole workstream

Single expert

One named consultant for a specific role, for example a senior FI/CO lead or an EWM solution architect.

Best for skill gaps on a running project

Team extension

Several consultants who join your project team, ramp up by phase and roll off when their workstream is done.

Best for S/4HANA implementations and conversions

Workstream pod

A small self-organised team with its own lead, taking on a defined scope such as custom code remediation or data migration.

Best for well-defined packages of work
