What It Is

Consult-SK GmbH is a German SAP consulting and software company. It is not positioned as a general-purpose SaaS provider, but rather focuses on process optimization and add-on extensions beyond standard SAP capabilities. According to its website, its core use cases include Purchase2Pay, Order2Cash, Tax Compliance, e-invoicing, and SAP document management, with continued maintenance and support after go-live.

Core Capabilities

Its product portfolio is fairly vertical. SmartDocs Suite is a document and FI communication management add-on for SAP, bringing payment advice, dunning notices, balance confirmations, interest invoices, outbound invoices, and more into a single monitor. It supports status lights, document flow, direct sending from SAP, batch sending, approval workflows, audit trails, and historical archiving. Receipt4S is designed for KassenSichV and GoBD compliance, offering DSFinV-K export, integrity checks, Z1/Z2/Z3 access, and POS data archiving. POS Comply is a cloud-based solution that connects to various POS systems via REST API and works with d.velop cloud archiving. For e-invoicing, CBCS handles the conversion of outbound invoices into XRechnung/ZUGFeRD, while CICS handles validation and conversion of inbound e-invoices.

Pricing and Deployment

Public pricing information is limited. SmartDocs uses a licensing model based on a base license plus modules, with costs depending on usage patterns and module selection; a quote requires a requirements discussion. The first 30-minute online consultation is free. In terms of deployment, SmartDocs supports SAP ECC and S/4HANA across on-premises and cloud environments. Receipt4S supports on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployment, while POS Comply is a cloud solution.

Pros and Cons

The main advantage is its strong focus on SAP and German retail compliance scenarios, combining consulting and implementation capabilities with in-house products. SmartDocs also clearly addresses pain points in standard SAP, such as fragmented transactions and manual sending processes. The drawbacks are the lack of public information on pricing, SLAs, data centers, and security certifications, as well as the fact that capabilities such as KassenSichV, GoBD, and XRechnung are clearly oriented toward the German regulatory environment.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited to mid-sized and large retail, finance, and compliance teams in Germany or the European market that use SAP ECC/S/4HANA. It is also suitable for companies that need SAP e-invoicing and POS audit capabilities. Non-SAP companies may find some fit only in the POS Comply scenario. The website does not provide information on access from China, local deployment compliance, or Chinese-language services, so access from China is unknown.
