Consumer behaviour is a highly dynamic and critical aspect of a business. With changing consumer demand patterns, companies are motivated to focus on tapping into extended partner networks to provide the needed service levels, enhancing service delivery and capabilities. Businesses are using trading partner networks to deliver sustainable and innovative business solutions transforming the global economy into a networked economy that thrives on collaboration. 

These changing business dynamics further require other enterprises to catch up and compete in a Networked Economy. Unfortunately, supply chains are plagued by siloed operations and poor collaboration among suppliers, distributors, and service providers that intervene in leveraging networks of networks and therefore account for poor visibility in processes and data sharing. With SAP Solutions like SAP Business Network, we aim to transform disintegrated and siloed business trading networks into a unified one that empowers data sharing and enhances visibility among all stakeholders.

What is SAP Business Network?

SAP Business Network is an innovative new solution for enterprises that facilitates connection through a single directory and collaboration with different trading and supply chain partners through real-time data sharing and lean workflows. It further provides intelligence that can be applied across the networks to predict new opportunities and identify unprecedented disruptions. With SAP Business Network, businesses can adopt modern ways to work that help mitigate risks, make data-backed decisions and augment business responsiveness and supply chain resilience.

What are the three SAP Business Network Solutions?

SAP aims to help businesses leverage the most extensive business networks by connecting trading partners for a comprehensive supply chain experience. Thus, any enterprise joining the SAP Business Network will be able to nurture contractor and partner relationships through a unified platform. SAP Business Network offers three network-based solutions for such enhanced collaboration:

Ariba Network:

SAP Business Network enables shippers and carriers to work together for a smooth freight order lifecycle management, improved visibility into shipments in transit, and extensive material tracking. Stakeholders can automate logistics collaboration and reduce costs by using a single point of access to manage transactions.

In a dynamic business landscape, enterprises must be quick to react to change and take advantage of any new opportunities. Therefore, businesses need agility and visibility to discover new trading partners or logistics providers to leverage new opportunities and the digital economy, especially when global supply chains have been experiencing unprecedented disruptions. Here are some of the benefits of SAP Business Network in Logistics.
