Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Network

We use this to make our procurement more efficient and streamline the supply chain. We use it for real time data sharing and this solves a lot of issues that comes with visibility. Transactions can be automated and this in turn helps with inventory management. Our overall regulation compliance has improved significantly.

Pros

  • Real time data sharing is made easy with both internal and external stakeholders
  • Automated workflows help us streamline payments and lower operational cost
  • Compliance management with internal policies and regulations

Cons

  • Can be a little more UI friendly. Some team member faced a significant leaning curve
  • Peak time performance issues
  • Cannot create invoice from mobiles
  • Over 2 year period, we have received an ROI of 200%+
  • Our delivery time has improved significantly even though we are yet to track the exact metric.
  • The platform has helped us identify multiple vendors which are beyond tier one
We use to share important info like inventory and forecasts. And since it is real time, all the stakeholders are informed and in loop. Creating invoices has been a breeze too, although it would be a great addition if we could do it from our mobiles too. But overall, SAP business netwrok has greatly improved out collaboration abilities.
Having real time updates has enabled us to be more proactive in terms of identifying and sorting inventory and procurement issues. For example, we receive alerts when there are high risk events during shipping. We can directly communicate with the customers and the vendors making sure out TAT in terms of risk mitigation is high.
We get a centralized view of all out inventory along with improved collaboration with trading partners and all stakeholders and customers. And the best part is updated real time, improving operational efficiency.

Our procurement has improved the most. The platform has digital document exchange feature which we extensively use. This is turn has reduced the order processing time.
One feature request would be improving the functionality for mobile use but then again, this is required only by a small fraction of users. Overall, this product has been one of the best subservice vendors for us. Forecasts and rela time collaboration is the best feature.
None, This is the first product we used and it suits our business needs perfectly.

Yes

Did SAP Business Network live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP Business Network go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Business Network again?

Yes

It is very well suited for B2B transaction, which applies to us. The risk management is also great as it helped us diversify our supply chain beyond the big tier one players.

It might not be the best tool for small business as they have lower transactional volumes and the features might be an overkill. The UI can be a little more friendly.

But overall, our company loves it!
