Extend SAP S/4HANA with AI-powered low-code

Trusted by over 22,000 businesses worldwide

Keep your SAP core clean with side-by-side extensions

Build the portals, apps, and workflows your business needs on Zoho Creator, a dedicated low-code platform that sits outside the SAP core.

One platform for all your extensions

Build and manage every SAP S/4HANA extension in one place, instead of spreading them across disconnected tools.

Stay current with SAP

When new SAP versions ship, you can adopt them as soon as possible instead of holding back to rework customization first.

SAP remains the system of record

Extensions read from and write back to SAP rather than holding their own copy, so there's always one source of truth.

Accelerate business agility

Building in Zoho Creator allows extensions to evolve at the speed your business demands, independent of the core system.

Faster delivery

New applications go from request to live in weeks, not quarters.

Independent updates

Update one app and push it live whenever the business needs it. Each app changes on its own, so iterating on one never affects the rest.

Collaborative building

Business teams and IT build on the same platform, so requirements turn into working apps faster instead of getting lost in handoffs.

Key extension scenarios

Teams typically turn to Zoho Creator for the following extension scenarios

External portals

Customer, vendor, and supplier portals that connect securely to S/4HANA

Bridging SAP and non-SAP systems

Apps that connect your SAP system with over 1,000 popular cloud and on-prem services

Mobile and field apps

Web and mobile applications with offline support for field and operational use cases
