    One of the best parts is how it is suited to global or multi-site organizations with complex supply chains. It just operates across multiple regions with various manufacturing facilities, and that too with very much ease; it is simple, solid and very reliable in terms of working when the logistics is an issue and fetches data and insights very quickly.

    Unleashed's new AIM (Advanced Inventory Management) module has made stock reordering, forecasting, and general "health" monitoring much easier. What used to be done in a large, hard to maintain, spreadsheet can now be done through this module, and more. Its tight inventory control has been great at stopping users adjusting stock to clear orders, without following a proper review process, and it's really shone a light onto our stock levels and how we're managing them.

    Cons
    SAP
    • The system does not work as smoothly when processing large volumes of data. There are processing delays when we are busy planning.
    • Moreover, because inventory exceptions are not automatically alerted, employees have to check them manually, which takes extra time. Upgrades in these sections could raise our operational efficiency.

    Usability
    SAP
    User experience has various issues, from the way to represent data on the Dashboard to complex graphical interfaces for making the right report of something that is easiest to make on other similar platforms. SAP Integrated Business Planning is difficult to integrate into other operating systems and ecosystems. Activity planning, in some cases, is confused, and access is limited if customers or end-users don´t use the platform over the internet using a desktop computer.
