Introducing SAP Business Network Value

With the SAP S/4HANA implementation you have the state-of-the-art ERP solution for your company.

Your ERP needs a network like your phone needs a service: without it, you are detached from external communication. Your phone can have the best clarity photos and videos but without the sim card, you wouldn't be able to connect to external parties to share content.

Similarly, to the SIM card, the SAP Business Network helps you connect with your trading partners, in this case, your suppliers.

Assurance of Supply: Lower revenue loss due to stock depletion

Process efficiency: operating cost reduction

Improved asset up-time: improvement in return on assets

Cash management: saving on spend

These value propositions will help you to increase your shareholder value and market cap. Through real-time digital access to your Trading Partners, you will in turn optimize your supply chain.

Some value realization examples are as follows:

• Buyer visibility into shipment status
• Suppliers have real-time visibility on the order cycle
• Suppliers have the choice to transact via SAP Business Network Supplier account, or via integration
• Suppliers can collaborate from any location, from any device
• Efficiencies gained in compliance tracking and eliminated errors

1. Your ERP needs a network to collaborate effectively with external partners.
2. The SAP Business Network provides assurance of supply through real-time digital access.
