Having a deeper understanding of its inventory, an auto supply maker whose channel partners account for about 70% of sales orders provided greater customer satisfaction.

I feel everything I said is heard, validated, and reflected in the designs. This SAP team takes our pain points seriously, and the final outcome provides the inventory visibility into the distributors that we’ve been wanting for a long time.
