Need for Innovation?
In today’s connected world, Supply Chain is more dynamic and needs to adopt to the new business realities where;
- End customers are more powerful and increasingly demanding
- There is poor coordination between Supply Chain partners
- Market conditions are very challenging
- There is a lack of shared metrics and ineffective technology enablement
Supply Chains are evolving into Demand Networks, where demand information is captured through new signals and fulfilled through the orchestration of a complex network of internal and external partners.
As a result, companies require the ability to capture, interpret, plan and quickly act on real-time information in a fast, efficient and profitable way.
To meet these challenges, SAP’s new Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is the solution for Supply Chain Planning.
