Company Overview

Kern AG is one of the leading providers of modern corporate planning software for the fields of controlling, finance, sales, distribution and logistics. For almost 20 years, we have been bridging the gap between Microsoft Excel and SAP with our products. Our core competency is complete integration of Excel in SAP. The technologies we developed for this purpose are unrivalled and form the basis of our planning and controlling solutions, Allevo and Cycles. Our Excel add-in and reporting tool, Sparks, can also be used solely with Microsoft Excel, i.e. independent of SAP.

From global players like Adidas, Siemens and PWC to national giants such as ADAC, EnBW, Fraport and Müllermilch, and to local institutions, such as municipal utility companies, public transport service providers and clinics — our controlling and reporting tools are valued by almost 250 companies.

No data entered
  • Server: No proprietary server, runs on SAP
  • Client: Microsoft Excel (2010 or later) with a custom template
  • SAP: from SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 to SAP S/4HANA
  • The Allevo Engine is the foundation of Allevo. It consists of ABAP programs, transactions and functions, which we have developed in ABAP (SAP’s programming language). As such, all SAP-specific data, authorizations, processes and functions in Allevo are also part of the Allevo Engine.
  • In order to be able to use Allevo for the first time in your company, all you need is an SAP transport order with the Allevo Engine and the Excel template. This transport order will import your SAP basis into the SAP system. Allevo will usually be available as early as two hours after this has been done. The record stands at 30 minutes.
  • You need authorization for the Allevo transactions and an additional authorization for S_PROGRAM. If you have these authorizations, then Allevo will be available with all of the SAP-side features and you can start working on your project. Other preparatory work, such as building a database, setting up servers, installing applications for clients, changes to the SAP customization or even modifications to the SAP system will not be necessary, as Allevo uses the existing infrastructure of your SAP system.
