SAP Business Network provides an end-to-end experience to connect and be transparent with suppliers from across the globe. There is no other product that can be compared to this and that has a wide range of offerings such as SAP Business Network. Although it is versatile and supports many business use cases the learning curve is deep and it will be difficult for new suppliers to get used to the platform. If you are suppliers with whom you just have one transaction and need to maintain the track record for those details, it's better not to use SAP Business Network because the suppliers will not be willing to learn to use the platform to submit the invoices just for one purchase order. But there is a solution for this as well you can ask the suppliers to submit the invoices to you through email and send paper invoices from SAP buying and invoicing. The PO and invoice will be sent to a private supplier account. Your supplier doesn't have to login but you still get to maintain the details on SAP Business Network. Even in these cases, SAP Business Network has a solution in the form of a private account.

It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.

Real-time order tracking: When a purchase order is created, suppliers can confirm it directly in the system. We can then see the status immediately without having to chase them via email.
Supplier interaction: Vendors can upload shipping details, update delivery dates, or report issues directly on the platform.
Analytics and insights: Aystem provides dashboards that show spend by category, supplier performance, and payment cycle.

It takes new users some time to go through the interface, especially if they have not dealt with similar software before.
It may still appear that customization options are somewhat restricted compared with other websites.
In addition, small businesses or start-ups could face higher subscription costs and, in full force, limit themselves to the quality of the social network.

There is still a ton of flexability on the customer's end of the platform, which makes standard onboarding for suppliers a challenge. Customers are allowed to ask for things, or customize certain things that are not standard for us, so we have to have special rules set up to complete an integration. There are also some limitations to automate invoice rejections that happen on the platform when a customer rejects an invoice

Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).

I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.

Good performance from SAP as key deployment partner; collaboration and deployment with additional business partner for data provision and business partner onboarding was rather difficult, slowing down the project progress and overall success perception
