eBook: Connecting Real Estate, People, and Processes with SAP and Planon
The real estate truths SAP can’t see – but Planon can.
Real estate is one of your biggest business investments, yet for most businesses it remains the least understood. Critical data sits in disconnected systems, compliance risks hide in plain sight, and SAP rarely gets to see the full picture.
This ASUG + Planon eBook explores the gaps caused by fragmented real estate management data and shows why SAP has chosen Planon to provide a solution extension for Real Estate and Facilities Management. It also reveals the hidden challenges slowing transformation, distorting reporting, and weakening compliance – challenges traditional Real Estate and Facilities Management tools simply can’t solve.
Discover the latest findings shaping the future of real estate performance and strategy.
eBook: Connecting Real Estate, People, and Processes with SAP and Planon
Every building has a story to tell – about how it’s being used, where energy is being wasted, which assets are under strain, and how its performance affects the business. The challenge is that most businesses can’t hear them. Data sits in silos, systems don’t connect, and the real story of your built environment stays hidden.
But with Planon, your buildings get a voice that everyone can understand.
By unifying operational, technical, and financial intelligence in one platform, and connecting it directly into SAP, Planon reveals what your buildings have been trying to tell you: how to better support clean-core strategies, reduce integration risks, and improve compliance accuracy.
If your buildings could talk… Planon is how you’d finally hear them.

Inspiring 3 key outcomes for real estate and facilities
Make Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) a fully aligned extension of your SAP landscape
The key insight: Building, and asset data rarely flows cleanly into SAP because traditional Real Estate and Facilities Management solutions rely on fragmented data and custom integrations – which introduce architectural risk, upgrade constraints, and limit clean core principles.
The key takeaway: Planon provides the only Real Estate and Facilities Management SAP solution extension on the market, delivered with standard, out-of-the-box integration via SAP BTP – preserving upgradeability and giving IT teams a stable, compliant, enterprise-ready architecture from day one.Bring real estate into your digital ERP core
The key insight: Real estate represents one of the organization’s largest cost centers, yet it’s often operated through disparate tools with incompatible data structures, making it impossible to achieve SAP-level accuracy, auditability, and lifecycle traceability.
The key takeaway: Planon applies ERP-grade governance and process orchestration by unifying asset, maintenance, sustainability, and financial data into one system. The result: trusted reporting, tight financial integration, and end-to-end lifecycle traceability.One platform that brings your whole world together
The key insight: Modern buildings are full of intelligence – in their systems, sensors, and assets – yet it can be hard to act on this insight when data is scattered, teams work in isolation, and the available technology speaks in different languages.
The key takeaway: Planon unifies people, processes, and building technology into one intelligence platform – giving you a single, dynamic view of how spaces are used, how assets behave, and how all of it influences both performance and cost.
