About us

About Kocak Solutions.

An owner-led consulting house from Heidelberg — focused on SAP Product Compliance, Classic & New Scenario.

Who we are

SAP Product Compliance — and nothing else.

Kocak Solutions was founded in Heidelberg in 2019 with one clear focus: SAP Product Compliance — and nothing else. We believe the discipline is too complex and too critical to run as a side activity. That specialisation shapes how we work: deep in the detail, continuously close to the module, in a small team with fixed points of contact.

We support clients from industry, technology, chemicals, pharma and consumer goods across every phase — from requirements analysis through customizing and custom development to server administration and content integration. Classic & New Scenario, migration between the two — all under one roof.

How we work

Three principles

01

We are part of the client's delivery chain.

We don't ship PowerPoint solutions. What we design, we either implement ourselves or hand over so cleanly that another team can take it forward.

02

What we build, the client should be able to maintain without us.

Clean code, documented customizing decisions, traceable user exits and BAdIs. Lock-in is not our business model.

03

Reachable after go-live.

Most issues only surface after the first real shipment, the first real migration, the first real audit cycle. That's when we're still around.

Founder & Managing Director

Muhammed Sahin Kocak

Founder & Managing Director · 15+ years of experience in SAP EH&S / Product Compliance

Muhammed Sahin Kocak graduated in Aerospace Engineering at the University of Stuttgart with a focus on “solving complex systems”, and started his career in 2011 as an SAP EH&S consultant — today SAP Product Compliance.

That systems mindset still shapes every project he works on today — combined with interdisciplinary approaches that deliberately go beyond what the SAP standard provides for.

Game development → Aerospace

For his thesis, he brought raytracing algorithms from game development into aerospace — fully automating the generation of satellite thermal simulations in ESATAN-TMS.

Thesis · University of Stuttgart
Algorithm → Compliance

For battery shipment optimization, he developed an algorithm that adapts dynamically whenever the parameters of a shipping unit change as additional cells are added.

SAP Product Compliance

„The most expensive sentence in any project: we’ve always done it this way."
