BatchMan Data Sheet

SAP-native job scheduling to automate, monitor, and control complex SAP end-to end background processes — all within the familiar SAP look and feel.

BatchMan is a SAP-native job scheduling and automation solution that helps SAP teams automate, monitor, and control business-critical background processes directly from within SAP.

Running in the ABAP stack of SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, and RISE with SAP, BatchMan centrally controls SAP and non-SAP processes without separate hardware or additional software. The result is greater visibility, faster processing, fewer manual interventions, and more reliable execution across hybrid SAP system landscapes.
