The cost advantage

Application management services that cost less per ticket, without losing quality

Most application management services providers in Western Europe run onshore-only teams, so every ticket — from a simple user query to a complex freight-settlement defect — is billed at a premium German day rate. NAV IT routes every ticket to the right level at the right cost instead.

Onshore-only providers vs. the NAV IT blended model

Dimension Onshore-only providers NAV IT blended model
Routine / L1 tickets Full German rate
Functional / L2 tickets Full German rate
Architecture / L3 & critical Full German rate

Why companies choose NAV IT for AMS

Application management services from digital supply chain specialists

Why companies choose NAV IT for AMS

Digital supply chain is our core discipline. When a freight settlement posts the wrong charge, an EWM wave won't release, or a BN4L message fails in transit, you reach someone who has solved that exact problem before.

Cost by design

The onshore-plus-offshore model means you never pay a premium German rate for routine work — senior insight where it matters, offshore efficiency everywhere else.

Own IP

Our Innovation Lab products are built on SAP TM, BTP and the Microsoft Power Platform — product-engineering depth that pure support shops can't match.

Shrinking ticket count

AI accelerators deflect routine queries and speed up diagnosis, so you pay for fewer tickets over time, not more.

End-to-end

A single logistics transaction can touch TM, EWM, BN4L and BTP integration at once. We support the full process chain instead of leaving you to coordinate three vendors.

SAP + Microsoft

We bridge SAP with Power Platform, Business Central and Power Automate, and build AI solutions for customer service — if your landscape is hybrid, so is our expertise.

Follow-the-sun

Three geographies mean faster first response, genuine extended-hours support, and no single point of failure.

Proven in your sector

Delivered for chemical, retail and manufacturing organisations — sectors where a supply-chain disruption carries real cost and reliability is non-negotiable.

Frequently asked questions

What clients ask before signing

What are application management services for digital supply chains?

Application management services (AMS) for digital supply chains cover the ongoing support, maintenance and optimisation of the SAP systems that run transportation, warehousing and logistics network processes — such as SAP TM, EWM, Business Network for Logistics and BTP. NAV IT delivers this as ticket-based AMS, combining onshore specialists in Germany and the UK with an offshore delivery centre in India, for companies across Western Europe, North America and Australia.

Your in-house experts stop firefighting support tickets and get their time back for high-value projects. Your costs become transparent and predictable — and, thanks to our offshore delivery, lower per ticket than an onshore-only provider. You also gain access to deep SAP digital-supply-chain and AI expertise on demand.

You receive access to our ticket portal and can also raise tickets by email or phone. Every request is logged, assigned to the right specialist and trackable end to end.

SAP landscapes only grow more complex, and specialist skills are increasingly hard to keep in-house. A ticket-based AMS bundles that expertise and lets you call on it exactly when you need it — without the fixed cost of a permanent team.

Onshore leads own architecture, critical incidents and client relationships; our experienced India delivery centre handles volume and extended-hours coverage. Tickets are routed by complexity, so you get the right expertise at the right cost every time.

SAP TM, EWM, BN4L / BN-SCC, BTP and Ariba, plus the surrounding Microsoft Power Platform and hyperautomation ecosystem — end to end.

Because focus is exactly what makes support great. We are specialists in SAP digital supply chain — not a generalist shop that covers every module at a surface level. That means our consultants have almost certainly seen your issue before, resolve it faster, and understand how the pieces of a logistics process fit together. It’s also why we can build our own supply-chain AI accelerators, and why our BTP, Microsoft Power Platform and hyperautomation expertise let us integrate cleanly with your wider landscape.

Yes. Root-cause fixes eliminate recurring issues, and our AI accelerators and automation deflect routine work — so your volume, and your cost, trend down.
