BatchMan SAP Workload Automation
SAP-Native Job Scheduling Orchestration

SAP job scheduling doesn’t have to be complex. Replace time-based SM36 and SM37 with BatchMan, an SAP-native job scheduler that automates, monitors, and simplifies business-critical background jobs across SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA environments.
