Keeping track of your supplier network.

It is an online platform for working with suppliers, allowing them to pass through transactions, share processes, and communicate. It will enable global operations and improve visibility and communication in the supply chain. It is helpful for companies that collaborate with other parties in their value chain and want to integrate networks.

Sharing forecasts, inventory, and billing services enhances quality. It also allows for more transparency and collaboration with partners by sharing data and information across the value chain. Increased connectivity results in collaborating with multiple stakeholders to share services and insights. SAP integration with other products and services in the ecosystem improves data and transparency.

SAP BN allows you to monitor inventory levels, report, and forecast and, therefore, detect and respond to supply chain disruptions in real-time. Having all the data in one ecosystem allows for better planning and value chain transparency. However, I'm not sure if it can fully mitigate risks because you remain dependent on suppliers.

As you can record each event across the logistics value chain, you get better visibility into earlier and later processes in your value chain. You can monitor raw materials and input supply levels, as well as downstream inventory levels at partners in retail channels. This allows you to trace materials and get insights into inventory levels throughout the network.
