Digital Supply Chain
Do you want to ensure the fast and reliable delivery of goods to your customers even better and more effortlessly than before? Do you want to proactively address delivery problems before they have an acute impact or your customers feel them?
Perhaps you need to be able to act in real time or gain transparency in the thicket of new technologies and their added value?
Consistent and detailed insights into the overall delivery process are important. This allows the delivery process to be efficiently developed and more profitable, for example, through less waste or shorter travel distances. With the digital supply chain, you can schedule products, resources, employees, and economic goods exactly where they are needed.
Transportation and manufacturing risks can also be proactively addressed, which also leads to higher profitability. However, a complete digital supply chain pays for itself not only through savings in costs, but also in resource utilization, time requirements and environmental impact.
Developing a digital supply chain within your company requires a far-reaching strategy. This is because the supply chain must fit into given structures, such as operations, systems and business processes. And without the right technologies, you can't make your operations more efficient. Using the "wrong" technology can even have a negative impact on efficiency.
It is important not to use new technologies for their own sake, but to examine the concrete added value for your company and your customers. abat regularly deals with new trends and technologies. In particular, we take a close look at the technologies offered by SAP and evaluate them in terms of value creation for our customers.
