The competing teams focus on the intense challenges in the finals of the DTU ERPsim League 2025 - Rank C competition
The DTU ERPsim League 2025 competition is held by the DTU Business Intelligence Center (BIC), attracting a large number of students from various economic and technical disciplines within the Faculty of Business Administration, Faculty of Marketing, DTU SouthStar Management Institute, and International School. Not only is it an academic playground, but the competition also has high practical value as it simulates a real business environment, allowing students to experience enterprise management processes through the SAP S/4HANA ERP system. This is an opportunity for participants to apply their knowledge to solve core management and business issues. The DTU ERPsim League 2025 lasts for five months (from December 9, 2024, to April 30, 2025) and is divided into three levels of challenges: Rank C - Maple Introduction Game (product business), Rank B - Manufacturing Extended Game (extended manufacturing), and Rank A - Manufacturing Sustainability Game (sustainable manufacturing).
The Rank C, Maple Introduction Game, attracted 14 teams. After several rounds of intense competition, the organizers selected the top 10 outstanding teams to advance to the finals where teams must flexibly apply business strategies to run a company specializing in importing maple syrup from Canada and distributing it in three regions: North, West, and South of the German market. The challenge requires students to manage resources well, optimize procurement processes, make sales plans, and coordinate inventory in order to maximize profits in a highly competitive business environment.

The entire process, from procurement, sales, financial accounting to business operations, was carried out on the SAP S/4HANA system, allowing participants to experience a realistic digital business environment.
