Your ERP Is Changing. Your Revenue Management Tools Should Be Too.

SAP ECC reaches end-of-life December 31, 2027. Legacy pricing, rebate, chargeback, and promotion tools built for ECC cannot be retrofitted to S/4HANA. IMA360 is ERP-agnostic, integration-first, and clean-core compliant, giving you program continuity from day one of your migration.

The Challenge

Why S/4HANA Migrations Break Your Revenue Programs

Your SAP ECC system carries years of customized pricing, rebate, chargeback, promotion, and incentive logic. When you move to S/4HANA, that logic does not translate. Legacy bolt-on tools built for ECC's architecture fail on the new platform. You face three options: rebuild, replace, or risk program failure.

Legacy Revenue Tools Cannot Be Retrofitted

Most ECC-era pricing, rebate, and chargeback tools were built for SAP ECC's architecture. S/4HANA's simplified data model makes them incompatible. Even upgrading these tools requires a full redesign of your program logic, a 12 to 48 month rebuild disguised as an update.

Clean Core Mandates Block Embedded Tools

SAP's clean core strategy eliminates embedded code extensions and custom developments. If your rebate tool is bolted onto your ERP, clean core is not an option. You must choose: abandon clean core or abandon your current tool.

Program Continuity Breaks During Cutover

Rebuilding pricing, rebate, promotion, and chargeback programs post-cutover creates a blind window where you cannot execute programs, track margin leakage, or process accruals. Finance and revenue ops teams lose visibility into margin-critical operations.

Switching Costs Are Historically High

During ERP migration, your implementation team is already mobilized, business processes are being redesigned, and stakeholders are aligned on change. This is the rare window where the switching cost for your rebate tool is lowest.

Request a Demo

Completely Decoupled from Your ERP

IMA360 connects to S/4HANA via standard APIs, not embedded code or custom developments. We abstract the complexity, pull what we need, and deliver clean pricing, rebate, and revenue management. If you migrate to a different ERP tomorrow, IMA360 comes with you.

Months, Not Years to Go Live

Our Integration Studio connects to S/4HANA using pre-built connectors and REST APIs. No custom coding, no SAP basis expertise required. Customers go from kickoff to live in 6 to 18 months during their migration window, not the 12 to 48 months legacy rebuilds require.

No Conflict with SAP's Modern Strategy

IMA360 operates completely outside your ERP. We do not extend, customize, or embed. You get to implement SAP's clean core strategy without compromise and without dual-maintenance headaches.

Your Platform Evolves Without Breaking Programs

We push feature updates and SAP connector updates continuously. Zero coordination needed with your SAP upgrade cycles. Your rebate programs run uninterrupted while we improve in the background.

Complexity Simplified. Your Results Amplified.

Stop Rebuilding Your Revenue Programs. Start Migrating Your ERP.

December 31, 2027 is closer than you think. The organizations that move their pricing, rebate, and incentive management to IMA360 first will migrate to S/4HANA months faster than those caught rebuilding legacy tools.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What if we are not migrating to S/4HANA yet?

If you are on SAP ECC but not yet committed to S/4HANA, IMA360 still replaces legacy pricing, rebate, and incentive tools with a modern, flexible platform. Many customers migrate their revenue programs to IMA360 first, then migrate their ERP later. You get the benefits immediately. When S/4HANA migration starts, you are already positioned.

Can we run IMA360 alongside our current tools during cutover?

Yes. Most customers run both systems in parallel for 1 to 3 months during cutover to ensure program accuracy and build team confidence in IMA360. After you have validated that rebate calculations, chargebacks, and accruals match perfectly, you cut over fully. This parallel run adds cost but eliminates risk for margin-critical operations.

How long does implementation actually take?

A typical implementation takes 6 to 18 months from kickoff to production. That assumes standard rebate and chargeback program structures and our pre-built S/4HANA connector. Larger or more complex environments may take up to 18 months.

Will we lose data when we switch to IMA360?

No. We extract your historical pricing, rebate, and chargeback data from your existing system and migrate it to IMA360 as reference data. You retain full audit history and can reference legacy accruals. Current-period programs are re-created in IMA360 from scratch based on your business rules, giving you a fresh start with modern data hygiene.

What if we want to change to a different ERP after S/4HANA?

That is exactly the point of ERP-agnostic architecture. IMA360 connects via APIs. Whether you switch to Oracle, Microsoft, NetSuite, or another platform, we adapt our connectors to the new ERP. Your pricing, rebate, and incentive programs stay in IMA360 untouched.

What systems can IMA360 replace during an ERP migration?

IMA360 replaces a wide range of legacy and point solutions used for rebate, chargeback, and incentive management. Organizations commonly migrate to IMA360 from SAP Vistex, SAP Condition Contract Management, Model N, Vendavo rebate modules, PROS, Zilliant, Pricefx, and custom-built or spreadsheet-based solutions. Because IMA360 is ERP-agnostic and API-first, it replaces embedded tools that break during S/4HANA migration as well as standalone platforms that lack modern integration capabilities.

How does pricing work?

IMA360 pricing is based on transaction volume, program complexity, and the number of concurrent users. Most customers offset the cost within the first year by capturing the 2 to 5 percent margin leakage recovery. We discuss pricing specifics during your demo.

What support do we get during and after implementation?

Full support. We assign a dedicated implementation manager, provide technical and functional SMEs, and train your team on the platform. Post-go-live, you get 24/5 support with escalation to 24/7 if needed, quarterly business reviews, and a customer success team that helps you optimize and evolve your programs.
