|---|---|---|
| Implementatie | Weeks, with a dedicated implementation team and account manager included | 12–24+ months for S/4HANA programmes, SI-led |
| Architectuur | One AI-native ledger; consolidation posts as transactions happen | Enterprise batch ERP; deep but seamed into modules |

| Configuratie | Astra learns from your data and suggests workflow and configuration changes to increase performance; applied in-product, no consultants | Consultant-led; SI-managed configuration and transport cycles |
| Abonnementenbeheer | Contract-based invoicing and deferred revenue automated | BRIM, separately licensed |
| Uitgavenbeheer | Corporate and virtual cards with Apple Pay and Google Pay, expense capture via Slack, Teams and email, native to the ledger | Concur, a separately acquired product |
| Wereldwijde factuurbetalingen | AP and vendor payments executed on local rails in 80+ countries, from the ledger itself | Bank files via treasury modules, SI-configured |
| Geavanceerde rapportage | Real-time multi-entity reporting with instant drill-down; no spreadsheet exports | SAP Analytics Cloud, separately licensed |
| SaaS-metrics | ARR, MRR, NRR, churn and cohort metrics computed from the ledger and contracts, in real time | Requires SAC customization or a separate metrics tool |
| Wereldwijde dekking | Local payment rails in 80+ countries; multi-entity, multi-currency by default | Deep global coverage, at enterprise implementation cost |
SAP is the deepest ERP ever built, and that depth is priced in years: S/4HANA programmes measured in fiscal cycles, steering committees, and a change process that routes through a system integrator. For a multinational running complex manufacturing on 40 years of customization, that trade can still make sense. For a modern multi-entity company, the depth arrives as weight.
Light gives the multi-entity company what it actually came for: one AI-native ledger across countries and currencies, agents that run the daily work, and a close that happens continuously instead of at quarter speed. The evaluation question is not whether SAP can do it, it usually can, but what it costs in time, licences and people to make it do it.
S/4HANA migrations are 12 to 24+ month programmes with SI day rates to match. Light implementations run in weeks with a dedicated team and account manager included, and reconfiguration afterwards is done by the finance team in-product, not through transport cycles.
SAP's finance estate spans modules and acquisitions: the GL in S/4, spend in Concur, billing in BRIM, analytics in SAC, each licensed and integrated separately. An agent cannot own a workflow that crosses licensing seams. On Light, AP, AR, cards, expenses, procurement, consolidation and reporting are one product on one ledger, which is precisely what lets agents run procure-to-pay and record-to-report end to end.
SAP handles payments through bank files and treasury configuration; spend lives in Concur. Light issues cards natively, captures receipts in Slack and Teams, and executes vendor payments on local rails in 80+ countries directly from the ledger, with FX handled at the ledger level.
Joule is a copilot: it answers, drafts and navigates, and SAP's agentic capability is roadmap. Light's agents are in production: they code, match, reconcile, chase and post inside approval thresholds, with every action logged. On a batch architecture, promoting a copilot into an agent is an architecture migration; on Light it is how the platform already works.
SAP's cost is the programme: licences by module, SI implementation, admin teams, and change requests billed by the day. Light is one platform, implemented in weeks, operated by the finance team, with the sub-ledgers included rather than licensed separately.
S/4HANA-migraties worden gemeten in jaren en stuurgroepen. Light-implementaties worden gemeten in weken, waarbij het team dat de verkoop deed ook de onboarding verzorgt.
Het grootboek in de ene module, uitgaven in Concur, omzet in BRIM. Agenten kunnen geen workflow beheren die licentiegrenzen overschrijdt. In Light is er één grootboek, dus daar kan het wel.
Joule kan samenvatten wat er is gebeurd. De agenten van Light boeken, matchen en sturen zelf herinneringen, binnen de door u ingestelde goedkeuringsdrempels.
“We hebben verschillende leveranciers geëvalueerd. Light won omdat het onze volledige finance-stack dekt: omzet, debiteuren, crediteuren, uitgaven en consolidatie, zonder een lappendeken van losse oplossingen aan elkaar te hoeven knopen.”
