We connect planning, warehouse and transport on SAP, so the forecast, the stock and the trucks all follow one plan. From SAP IBP for demand, supply and S&OP, to SAP EWM in the warehouse and SAP TM on the road.

Too much stock of the wrong items, too little of the right ones, and trucks leaving half empty: most supply chain cost comes from plans that don’t talk to each other.
