Supply Chain Visibility
IBP provides comprehensive visibility across all levels of your supply chain. The alerting and analytics provide a 360 degree view. With supply network collaboration and comparison analysis one can break the ground for next level supply chain operations.
Our Discovery Workshop
One of the first step in our approach to IBP is to conduct a discovery workshop where our team will dive deep into each process area and identify the sub-processes which are relevant and impactful for you and design a journey map.
Our Discovery workshops are usually about 2-3 weeks duration and the outcome is a detailed roadmap to operationalize your IBP landscape.
Our Approach
Inspired by SAP Activate Methodology & Design Thinking Principles from Stanford D.School
-
Discovery
Our IBP Practice leaders would initiate an exploratory & discovery workshop to discover the value proposition of IBP in your SAP ecosystem and provide a guided estimate on the time, price, and ROI of implementing IBP.
-
Implementation
Our practice leads craft an implementation plan with quick time to execution and unlock maximum ROI. Throughout this phase, we partner with your business and IT to ensure their feedback is processed into the implementation sooner rather than later.
