Like I previously mentioned, this software fits our needs right now because it allows us to control inventory and remove items when needed from our participating retailer's websites. The price is reasonable. Our traffic and shipping teams have also used this software to create fewer touch points in shipping and make the process more digital. That has been a big winner for us. You'll definitely want an internal IT team to support this software. The implementation process is long and tedious and you will need to restructure to fit your needs. That is difficult to do when you are a smaller business with cross-functional employees.

Well suited - Managing the inventory and tracking of stocks is robust scenarios where it is less appropriate - Flexibility in RF screen must be improved and to fix the issues in queues when it is stuck

Cons
IBM
  • Not able to export lists to excel. This is a big negative for me personally. It makes it harder and more time consuming to clean up accounts.
  • Doesn't warn you if the same sender and receiver code are on another list.
  • The dashboard is not the best. The next button that you would assume takes you to the next page actually doesn't, it ends up showing past interactions with the software. You have to click on the tiny numbers at the top to navigate. Super annoying. Not very user-friendly or appealing to the eye.

I think its best tool that you can use for this particular job. I know there are others but as long as you use SAP for some functionalities in your business you should consider using it.

We are using Max attention, which is a perfect (but costly) extension for prod support.

We were using non-sap product for managing the SAP Extended Warehouse Management which was not that great and flexible. In S4H 2023 version, SAP Extended Warehouse Management comes up with the features which was suitable for our business hence we implemented SAP Extended Warehouse Management. This was seamless integration has is embedded in HANA, we dont have to setup another instance and use the features of SAP Extended Warehouse Management

Return on Investment
IBM
  • The overall impact has been good for us and I do feel like the software is worth the money they just need to do a lot of updating and making the software more user-friendly.
  • As a ecommerce account manager, it is important that we are able to remove and add items quickly to our retailer sites. This software has allowed us to do that.
  • Would like to see a more knowledgeable support staff that are able to work through issues in a timely matter.

  • We just started to use it so the benefits are not yet clearly visible
  • In the future I see that we can save work hours when we get all the functionalities working as we want
