Malte Lohrberg
Last position:
Product Owner, Change Management Coach and Organizational Consultant & Founder and Product Architect at Freelance + Resilience Bakery
The combined experience from recent project years shows that two hearts beat in my chest: on the one hand, working in and for organizations to develop new, innovative products, ideally as part of a digitization strategy or business development – and the closely related change and transformation process expertise as part of holistic organizational consulting. For this, I have established the Change Bakery and Product Validators offerings.
On the other hand, my heart and mind are fired up to find my own products, evaluate markets and potentials, and test ideas. Currently, I am proactively and part-time, in addition to ongoing projects, working on a product idea in the mental health area and have founded Therapymate.

About the technology
SAP Ariba work

- Guided buying setup
- Sourcing event design
- Supplier onboarding and enablement
- Contract and invoice process support

What strong specialists do
Strong SAP Ariba specialists understand how procurement teams actually work, not just the software screens. They map approvals, item catalogs, roles, and exception paths so the process stays usable for buyers, approvers, and suppliers.
Ecosystem and terms
SAP Ariba often appears together with SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Network, and older Ariba Network terminology. Good professionals know where master data lives, how documents move between systems, and how to handle the handoffs between sourcing, procurement, and finance.
When companies bring in freelancers
Companies usually seek freelance help during rollouts, changes to buying policy, supplier migrations, or integration work. In Frankfurt, this is common in large corporate procurement teams, finance departments, and international groups that need clear English communication and structured remote collaboration.
What to check before hiring
Look for practical experience with your module mix, your approval logic, and your ERP landscape. Ask for examples of catalog setup, supplier processes, test support, and training materials, because the best SAP Ariba professionals leave a process that teams can run without constant help.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about SAP Ariba — answered in short.
SAP Ariba is used to run sourcing, purchasing, supplier collaboration, and invoice-related workflows in a more structured way. Companies use it to keep buying processes consistent, improve visibility, and reduce manual handoffs between procurement and finance.
SAP Ariba is the procurement and sourcing suite, while SAP Business Network is the broader network layer many companies now use for supplier transactions. You will still hear Ariba Network in older projects, so a strong specialist should understand both the current terminology and the legacy wording.
A strong SAP Ariba specialist usually also understands procurement process design, supplier master data, and ERP integration. Familiarity with SAP S/4HANA, testing, change management, and user training is especially useful when the work touches several teams.
SAP Ariba work needs more than basic product knowledge when the setup involves approvals, catalogs, or integrations. Small changes may only need focused support, but a rollout or migration benefits from someone who has handled similar procurement workflows before.
Yes, much of SAP Ariba configuration, testing, documentation, and stakeholder coordination can be done remotely. On-site time in Frankfurt helps when you need workshops, procurement alignment, or live training with local teams and suppliers.
Ask which modules they have worked on, what ERP systems they connected, and how they handled supplier onboarding or catalog issues. A good SAP Ariba freelancer should explain the process clearly and show how they reduce friction for buyers and approvers.
Look for clear process mapping, clean test scenarios, and documentation that matches how your team will actually work. Strong SAP Ariba specialists also think about exceptions, support requests, and training, not just the initial configuration.
If buying is inconsistent, supplier onboarding is slow, or invoice issues keep reappearing, SAP Ariba expertise can help. The same applies when a Frankfurt team is rolling out a new process, migrating suppliers, or connecting procurement with finance systems.
