Winner in the Business Network Innovator category: Molex, LLC faced challenges with outdated supply chain collaboration technology, resulting in a 30% confirmation rate for purchase orders (POs) with suppliers. Their legacy software couldn't integrate effectively with suppliers' ERP systems, causing issues with visibility and global supply chain challenges.To address this, Molex implemented SAP Business Network as part of a broader digital transformation. The initiative began strategically with order confirmations and consignment processes, starting in Asia, a key area for Molex’s supply chain.The integration of SAP Business Network has significantly improved Molex’s order confirmation rate, enhancing visibility, assurance of supply, and the clear-to-build process. This transformation allowed Molex to shift from manual updates to more efficient, automated processes. Suppliers now handle 90% of order confirmations themselves, up from just 10%, enabling Molex's buyers to focus on more value-added activities and fostering better supplier relationships.The result is a more resilient and efficient supply chain, ensuring Molex meets its customer commitments more effectively.
