Socrates
What it is
While your ERP moves, Socrates builds the Context Layer on top of your existing systems. You answer questions, report consistently and optimize processes now, and take the context with you after the cutover.
Planning, replenishment and reporting don’t have to be rebuilt in the new ERP. Socrates runs outside the clean core, with little IT effort.
paretos builds the Context Layer on existing connections, the data team approves. Mappings across all systems are documented in the Company Brain instead of in Excel mappings.
Reporting, planning and optimization no longer depend on the ERP timeline. The systems underneath change, context and logic stay.

Company Brain
The company’s data, goals, rules and experience, linked in machine-readable form. Sits above the systems and keeps applying to the target ERP after the cutover.
Switch: everything above stays, only the connection changes.
Which active materials don’t have a mapping in the target ERP yet, and which of them have open purchase orders?
Of 12,480 active materials, 570 don’t have a mapping in the target ERP yet, that is 4.6%. 84 of them have open purchase orders that should be resolved before the next test run.
| Plant | Active | Without mapping | With open PO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plant North | 5,240 | 180 | 31 |
| Plant South | 4,110 | 260 | 41 |
| Plant East | 3,130 | 130 | 12 |
| Total | 12,480 | 570 | 84 |
Biggest lever: Plant South. 41 of the 84 materials without a mapping that have open purchase orders are there.

Create value while the migration runs
Socrates sits on top of SAP ECC, non-SAP ERPs and Excel and delivers now what would otherwise only come after go-live. Socrates recommends, your team approves.
The difference
Not someday. Today.
SAP and co. promise an ultra-modern vision with their ERP suites, but only once every module is bought and integrated. Socrates delivers it today.
Later, maybe
