"GIB makes navigating SAP much easier. I've reduced the number of transactions I have to interact with and I feel it provides better information, or at least presents it in a way that is better than the standard methods."

Built-in Cross-Functional Intelligence for SAP Supply Chains

Remove the friction that slows your supply chain down

Decision Speed

Accelerate how work moves through SAP

Decision speed is not just about alerts. It’s about how quickly planners can evaluate information, coordinate across roles, and execute actions. GIB reduces friction in the decision process itself, improving responsiveness across the supply chain and enabling supply chain teams to move from analysis to execution faster inside SAP.

Rework Rate

Increase first-time execution quality

Rework happens when operational decisions have to be adjusted after execution. Orders are changed, parameters are revised, or transactions are reversed. GIB improves the quality and completeness of information available at the moment a decision is made, so actions are correct the first time and require fewer downstream adjustments.

Exception Cycle Time

Shorten the time to operational resolution

Operational issues like supply gaps, scheduling conflicts, and coverage risks are part of daily supply chain management. What matters is how quickly they are resolved. GIB enables teams to identify, prioritize, and address issues directly within SAP, reducing the time between detection and resolution.

Workaround Frequency

Reduce reliance on parallel processes

When coordination requires exporting data, reconciling spreadsheets, or emailing across functions, execution slows and system integrity weakens. GIB keeps evaluation and action within SAP, reducing the need for external coordination layers. 

What Our Customers Are Saying

There isn’t anything that really stands out as a dislike of the tool. Early on, our main challenge was understanding what more we could do with it after deployment without bringing in consulting. The GIB user community has since been very helpful in giving us ideas and helping us continue to expand how we use the solution.
