Transform Consumer Products with SAP Powered by Approyo

The retail and consumer goods industries will change more in the next 10 years than they have over the past 40. One primary force is responsible—digitalization—and it has already begun.

• Consumers demand more than just a product – they expect an outcome.
• Consumers change buying decisions in the moment based on newly received information.
• Only real-time, collaborative networks have the ability to deliver meaningful consumer experiences.

These trends have one major thing common: They pose a threat and open new opportunity. The decisive movers will take advantage of these opportunities and turn them into competitive advantage.

SAP Solutions powered by Approyo
SAP HANA powered by Approyo is at the center of what makes digital transformation possible, and let’s you thrive in this unprecedented era of digital transformation. It is by far the best enterprise platform-as-a-service option for SAP customers. 

SAP HANA can help consumer products companies’ knowledge about consumers and aids in creating a 360 degree picture of what motivates consumers, and what will help them on the buying journey. It helps extend the user experience to multiple devices and easier interfaces. SAP HANA extends your existing analytics into something more powerful and meaningful on a one-to-one level. It can help you extend your existing business into the exciting new world of Internet-of-things and leveraging new technology like beacon and sensor data. And SAP HANA extends the collaboration possible at every link of the value chain.

SAP HANA intigrates your cosnumer products and related systems into one cohesive system allowing you to leverage the resulting synergies.  With SuccessFactors and Fieldglass you can staff up contingent workforce as needed for that busy holiday season. Directly tie your existing inventory management solutions with SAP Ariba and so on.

Finally, with the velocity of change now possible in the digital era, you can build new solutions and business models in a rapid manner.  You can quickly build solutions and efficiently combine them such that they will not impact existing business models.  And this can be done in weeks and days instead of years or months. 

Once you understand how you customers want to be treated,  make sure your systems and process allow exactly that: Extending your Cloud and On-Premises Apps let you tailor your current applications to differentiate your customer engagement.

• Extend your current cloud apps to add new features and personalization unique to your brand, its people and goals
• Easily modernize your current on-premises applications into beautiful, mobile-ready assets your team and customers can use right now
• Deploy pre-built app extensions created by SAP and our partners to quickly and easily achieve results in new outlets, markets and geographies

REIMAGINE CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT 
Nowhere is the impact of digital more profound than in processes and technologies that directly touch consumers. A great omnicommerce consumer engagement must include:

• Knowledgeable store associates armed with as much or more information than consumers 
• Social engagement involving brand, employees, and consumers 
• In-store technologies to augment shopping experience 
• “Segment of one” merchandising, marketing, and loyalty 

REIMAGINE BUSINESS MODELS
If technology was not a limitation, how would you fundamentally change business models based on real-time and complete consumer and business data? Many possibilities exist, such as:

• Automated, dynamic, and contextual pricing based on a consumer’s digital footprint 
• Flexible supply networks enabling short lead times and “make-to-order” assortments 
• Tracking and tracing along the supply chain with connected warehouses 

REIMAGINE PROCESSES
With digital playing a larger role in commerce, it’s easy to envision new processes that help create and capture new sources of value. Examples include:

• Data and insights help not only in growing the core business but also in creating new businesses that directly monetize data 
• Business networks and marketplaces are enabling agile fulfillment
• The ability to activate hyper-local execution

Transform Manufacturing with SAP powered by Approyo

The market is experiencing a disruptive shift in customer demand for new, extensive, smart, and personalized products. Sellers are constantly reducing buffer inventory with obsolescence risk in mind. Manufacturers are competing to meet this challenge and provide individualized products in similar lead times and cost as off-the shelf products. This creates tremendous complexity for the manufacturing operations team, yet at the same time, companies are looking for growth and profitability while maintaining high quality and sustainability.

To meet these demands, manufacturing is being used as a strategic pillar, becoming more collaborative, localized, automated, integrated, and highly adaptive. Companies are adopting digital manufacturing strategies and solutions to seamlessly connect relevant business stakeholders, information and operational processes in real time. Digital manufacturing simultaneously improves responsiveness and efficiency which drives growth, while decreasing cycle time and cost. Leveraging technologies like 3D printing, cloud, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) is increasing agility and extending the manufacturing network. Digital manufacturing has become a strategic differentiator.

Digital Priorities in Manufacturing

• Live Planning - To fulfill customer orders in time, demand needs to be prioritized over forecast in real time. Optimal planning and faster response to demand changes based on live visibility of constraints enables higher production (lowers manufacturing costs) while increasing on-time delivery performance.Live planning enabled by SAP S/4HANA provides constraint-based planning (capacity and material flow) in one system that addresses requirements of all major manufacturing industries. Manufacturers can manage advanced planning and scheduling scenarios directly integrated with SAP S/4HANA material and order management environment.
• Production Engineering and Operations (PEO) - To manufacture personalized products ordered by customer, the need to efficiently and accurately synchronize data across designing/ formulating, manufacturing engineering, and production execution processes is required. SAP S/4HANA Manufacturing for production engineering and operations expands core SAP S/4HANA manufacturing capabilities, delivering enhanced visualization with newly developed and enriched BOM management, process planning, change management, and shop floor execution feature sets.  New digital manufacturing capabilities streamline production planning and shop floor operations within global production environments utilizing the power of SAP S/4HANA with proven integrations. 
• Distributed Manufacturing - To leverage the global manufacturing and logistics partner network, manufacturers need to quickly and efficiently connect them through supply chain and manufacturing solutions with the 3D printing and other manufacturing capabilities. Manufacturers can improve on-time delivery performance by effectively planning inventory replenishment and optimizing trade-offs between inventory. SAP Distributed Manufacturing solution enables digital collaboration with manufacturing service providers. End-to-end process from design, costing, approvals, quality checks to production status is supported. This increases local and central operational visibility, and flexibility in production of components/ products with personalized / complex designs, and variable/ low demand (e.g. new launches, spare parts etc.)
• Digital Manufacturing Insights - For manufacturing leaders to drive insights to action, access is required into live information about global production operations based on a common definition to drive continuous improvement across the organization. SAP Digital Manufacturing Insights solution provides standardized manufacturing process view for the SAP S/4HANA software environment and is future-proof in design by running analytics directly from the digital core. SAP delivers a unique perspective of analytics that is tied to core business processes and functions. This enables tracking of efficiency and ties dollar figures to variances of these processes.

Reimagine Demand to Production Plan
SAP S/4HANA provides next-generation production planning (MRP live) optimized on the SAP HANA platform for faster planning cycles and synchronization to demand changes, resulting in fewer material shortages and delays, and less safety stock.

Reimagine Personalized Order to Production (Industry 4.0)
Personalized customer order is transferred to manufacturing with minimal manual intervention through the integration of SAP S/4HANA with SAP e-commerce solutions. Integration with suppliers enables optimized scheduling and getting the required raw materials at the right production line. There is complete traceability and serialization for the finished goods. A personalized order is executed as seamlessly as mass production.

Reimagine Global Manufacturing Networks - Insights to Action
The SAP Digital Manufacturing Insights solution provides the global view of manufacturing operations. SAP Distributed Manufacturing enables digital collaboration with manufacturing service providers. The partners are aligned with the manufacturing process through Ariba Network for forecast, quality, and inventory.

Reimagine Distributed Manufacturing
Manufacturers can efficiently handle variable customer demands and compress manufacturing cycles using SAP Distributed Manufacturing solution. Manufacturers identify which components of their products are best suited for 3D printing and help find the right partners for printing. The result is a new level of supply chain agility to meet fast-changing customer needs.
