In order to improve efficiency in its global supply chain network, Ericsson has decided to use the SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (SAP IBP) solution, according to a statement from SAP SE.

With a large global reach and billions of customers, Ericsson needed a robust technology base to centralize its planning and logistics processes.

SAP IBP is a cloud-based solution that helps companies predict supply-chain risks and create plans to deal with them by integrating business planning capabilities across different areas. SAP IBP will streamline Ericsson's planning processes and improve their response to resource requests, inventory planning, sales, and operations. Ericsson will be able to concentrate even more on promoting innovation and raising cost-effectiveness thanks to this.

Companies need to predict and quickly meet demand to achieve their goals. Choosing SAP IBP is part of the ongoing partnership between Ericsson and SAP. SAP supports Ericsson in its aim to create worldwide connectivity without limitations.

Metzger, head of SAP Digital Supply Chain, claims that global leaders like Ericsson must possess agility, resilience, and trust to achieve supply-chain resiliency and keep customers satisfied. Over the years, Ericsson and SAP have developed a strong working relationship. With its selection of SAP IBP, they are able to assist Ericsson in further digitizing its supply chain and solidifying its place as one of the top telecommunications firms globally.
