Allevo Koodai – A real alternative to SAP Analytics Cloud?
Companies that want to manage planning and analysis within their SAP environment often face the same question: Which solution truly fits our requirements?

Allevo Koodai offers a practical alternative. With direct SAP integration, intuitive usability, and a short implementation phase, planning and reporting can be set up efficiently—without the complexity of traditional BI platforms.
