Clean Core Transformation

At smartShift, we have spent decades in the trenches helping customers modernize their SAP systems. We have automated the transformation of billions of lines of custom code across thousands of SAP transformation projects for the largest and most complex SAP customers. There is no other solution in the market that can deliver these kinds of results with the speed and reliable quality as smartShift. Now, we’re taking the next step.

We are building a next-generation platform that combines everything we’ve learned with the speed, scale, and intelligence of Generative AI. This isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about solving the real challenges SAP customers face as they move to S/4HANA and the cloud.

And right now, the biggest challenge is this: Clean Core is no longer optional.

Two massive shifts are happening in parallel:

• Generative AI is reshaping software development, cutting out the manual work and giving developers superpowers. Tasks that once took weeks can now be analyzed, optimized, and executed in minutes.
• SAP is pushing toward Clean Core. That means fewer core modifications, more side-by-side extensibility, and a complete rethink of legacy custom code.

Together, these shifts create a massive opportunity if you're equipped with automation. The partners tied to outdated delivery models, measured by resource utilization and manual effort, aren’t just slow. They’re blockers. In today’s environment, speed and scale win. And that only comes with automation.

We’re not just scanning code or checking syntax. We take a step back and look at the whole picture - what the customization does, how it’s used, and whether it still needs to exist. Then we automate the heavy lifting to make it clean, compliant, and future-ready.

Our platform is built on six core capabilities:

• Full visibility into your custom code inventory
• Deep analysis of usage, complexity, functionality, and architecture
• Smart comparisons to the SAP standard to identify redundant customizations
• Automated decommissioning of unused or obsolete code
• Cloud alignment—transforming code to comply with released APIs and cloud syntax
• Complete application modernization to support CAP, RAP, and Key User models

And behind all of this? Proven automation, deep IP, and now real-world, high-impact use cases powered by Generative AI. 

The difference? We are not starting from scratch. Our models are trained on 20+ years of SAP code intelligence, giving smartShift a foundation no one else has. We are in a category of one!

This platform isn’t just about cleaning up code—it’s the foundation for a smarter, more interactive SAP engineering experience.

Here’s what else it enables:

• Repository  Exploration: Visualize and explore your custom applications like a living map, not just a flat list of technical objects. See how components connect, how often they are used, and where technical debt lives.
• Natural Language Query (NLQ): Ask questions like “Where is this enhancement used?” or “Which custom code touches Sales and Distribution (SD) pricing?” and get contextual answers in plain language.
• Blueprinting & Planning Support: Use rich, structured analysis to guide smarter project planning. In the future, GenAI will help surface architectural recommendations in real time during blueprinting sessions.

While not every capability relies on GenAI today, we use agentic patterns under the hood, especially in delivering intelligence via graphical UI and guided experiences.

• 3+ billion lines of ABAP modernized
• 3–4x faster than manual approaches
• 99.99% precision with zero production defects

We understand what Clean Core really requires. It’s not just technical, it’s cultural and strategic. 

And we have built the only platform designed to help you get there with confidence.
