Enhance and Extend Next-Generation Processes with Intelligent ERPBringing SAP S/4HANA® and intelligent technologies from SAP together as Intelligent ERP results in a more flexible and intelligent enterprise. To create next-generation business processes and respond to rapid changes, companies need Intelligent ERP solutions that can be continuously enhanced and extended with innovative business services and applications built on emerging technologies, including machine learning, blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Wholesale distributors focused on innovation or early adoption have already begun this journey.

The Power of Intelligent ERP

Overview Strategic Priorities E2E Scenarios SAP Value Proposition ReferencesSAP Strategy

/2 17

Leading wholesale distributors are transforming their business to provide customer-specific solutions that differentiate their companies from peers in the marketplace.

The digitalization of businesses across all industries is happening rapidly, and there is no turning back. Digital transformation fosters operational excellence within wholesale

distribution companies, providing the real-time information required to overcome market challenges and drive immediate impact for their customers. Leading wholesale

distributors are looking for new ways to deliver value to their customers through new business models and services. Intelligent technologies can enable distributors to become

proactive, insight-driven companies that can drive new revenue sources, retain customer loyalty, and increase long-term profitability.

More-demanding customers

Customers are demanding a wider range of products with shorter delivery times and

more delivery options.

Distributors can pivot to becoming a go-to partner for infinite inventory – offering anywhere,

anytime delivery to meet expectations in the age of Amazon.

Need for solution orientationCustomers are looking to distributors to collaborate and provide complete solutions for specific business needs or projects.

Effective two-way collaboration between the distributor and customer can provide project-

supporting solutions that build a long-term, valuable partnership.

New employee expectationsEmployees are burdened by work-arounds and manual tasks that negate job satisfaction and overall experience.

To combat the talent shortage, distributors can focus employees on high-value tasks based on

insights embedded in operational activities. This focus allows for improved decision-making, role

attractiveness, and employee motivation.

More-complex customer needs

Customers are seeking additional services such as light manufacturing, kitting and

assembly, and maintenance to support the products they sell.

Distributors who provide value-added services can evolve differentiating business models that

drive customer stickiness and long-term profitability.

Drive Business Value with Intelligent ERP: SAP S/4HANA Customer Stories

Page 5: Transform the Intelligent IM&C Enterprise

The digital economy is disruptive. Wholesale distribution companies need strategic priorities that drive their transformation into intelligent enterprises. SAP supports a reimagined

set of end-to-end (E2E) business scenarios that are part of a digital environment.

The value-added services distributor

For years, most distributors have been providing value-added services,

many of which have been free of charge. Leading distributors take these

value-added services to the next level and use them to significantly

increase revenue and bottom-line profitability. Distributors should consider

providing customers with a menu of options such as light manufacturing,

sensor-based services, training and consulting services, or lending

services.

E2E scenario: Customized products – Think beyond the purchasing

and selling of goods. Based on customer requests, distributors can take

responsibility for customer tasks and deliver individualized products.

The “anything, anywhere, anytime” distributor

Companies everywhere face volatile customer demand and heightened

service expectations. Innovative technologies can help resolve these

issues by providing vital business information across the network,

improving real-time analysis, and enabling better collaboration across

departments and trading partners – thus transforming the supply chain

into a responsive network.

E2E scenario: Intelligent inventory investment – Transform your

traditional linear supply chain into a responsive digital supply network

supporting all aspects in the order-to-delivery value chain.

The solution-oriented distributor

With so many options in the marketplace, distributors need to establish

themselves as trusted partners. One way to do so is by working with

customers to not only understand needs but also collaborate closely

on larger products. Through this relationship, distributors can plan for

and deliver the products and services that establish themselves as a

long-term, valuable part of the customer’s success.

E2E scenario: Usage-based printing – Rethink traditional product

offerings to include services and usage-based contracts that could include

routine maintenance and replenishment.

Empowerment of the modern employee

Over time, processes can become outdated or broken, requiring

employees to spend much of their time on work-arounds and manual

tasks. Refocusing employee time on higher-value tasks with real-time

insights and automation can dramatically improve employee

experiences.

E2E scenario: Efficiency through process mining – Analyze process

breaks, highlight manual interactions, and review undocumented

deviations from assumed best practices to comprehend areas of

improvement.

Putting the customer’s point of view at the center of every decision is a key prerequisite for success in the digital age. Based on customer requests, wholesale distributors take

tasks over from their customers and deliver individualized products. SAP® solutions enable wholesale distributors to easily adopt value-added services while driving customer

stickiness and long-term profitability.

A new world with SAP

Providing products that fit the needs of customers at the right time and right prices has been routine in traditional wholesale distribution. Today, there are even more challenges to

doing this consistently, especially considering the alternative sources customers have today from online marketplaces. SAP solutions allow distributors to push standardization

and simplification, becoming more responsive along the supply chain to drive custom-tailored, real-time responsiveness.

Page 8: Transform the Intelligent IM&C Enterprise

The Solution-Oriented Distributor

Usage-Based PrintingTo remain competitive in today’s market, wholesale distributors must transform into solution providers that engage with customers to collaborate and work toward comprehensive

and attractive outcomes. By moving from simply selling products to providing services and adding value, new business models evolve. SAP solutions empower distributors with

the technology required to move away from a model of capturing sales orders reactively to driving proactive, solution-oriented engagements.

Empowerment of the Modern Employee

Efficiency Through Process MiningProcesses in large organizations are complex by nature, and companies often take the opportunity to standardize them with an ERP deployment. Even the most disciplined

organization notices that its control over processes tends to deteriorate over time. SAP solutions empower employees to get the real-time insights they need to cut costs,

minimize time-intensive bottlenecks, and pivot to focus on high-value tasks that build employee engagement.
