What is zapliance?
zapliance is a Hamburg-based provider of AI agents for SAP data governance, analytics and audit. Its agent teams analyze SAP financial data, monitor processes continuously and support audits of entities and processes for internal audit, compliance and external auditors.
zapliance focuses exclusively on SAP data and describes its approach as hybrid governance, where specialized agents work alongside people. The team Werner and Wilma is available today. Werner exports, labels and analyzes SAP data, monitors continuously and retrieves SAP attachments, while Wilma helps users interpret and follow up on the results in a chat. Further teams named Wickie and Wolfgang for advanced monitoring and project work were marked as coming soon in September 2026. The software runs on premises and is offered with and without AI. zapliance GmbH is based in Hamburg and names German corporates and audit firms as customers.
zapliance AI features and use cases
- Analyzes and monitors SAP dataWerner is the agent for SAP data analysis, with AI-driven insights, continuous monitoring and retrieval of documents attached in SAP. Internal audit and finance teams get findings from the full SAP dataset without writing their own extraction queries.
- Prioritizes analysis resultsWerner uses machine learning to rank analysis results, so the most relevant exceptions come first. Audit teams working through long lists of findings can start with the cases that matter and leave routine hits for later review.
- Answers questions in a chatWilma turns SAP data structures and analysis results into a chat that understands SAP terms and business language. Auditors who are not SAP specialists can ask where and how transactions are recorded. Wilma runs on premises with a language model the customer has approved.
- Checks payments and controlsUse cases for Werner and Wilma include duplicate payments, internal control assessments, audit preparation and continuous control monitoring. Internal audit can test the full SAP population for these topics instead of relying on samples.
What sets zapliance apart

- Runs on premises without internet access and with or without AI, which matters for companies that cannot send ledger data to a cloud model.
- Customer list centers on German corporates and audit firms, including Hannover Re, Otto Group and Grant Thornton.

Questions to ask before you buy zapliance
zapliance only works with SAP, so confirm your SAP release and landscape are supported. The software runs on premises, so plan server capacity and decide whether to use the AI option and which language model your company approves for Wilma. Pricing is not published. Only the Werner and Wilma team was available in September 2026. For German entities, involve IT security and the works council early, since the agents need read access to financial data and attachments in SAP.
