SAP Cloud & Platform

Business Network

Connect with suppliers, carriers and partners on one network, and stop running your supply chain on email and spreadsheets.

Overview

One network for your suppliers, logistics partners and assets

Purchase orders sent by email, invoices keyed in by hand, shipment updates chased by phone. Most supply chains still run on too many manual touch points, and every one of them is a chance for delay or error.

SAP Business Network connects your company with its trading partners on one digital network. It covers procurement and invoicing (the former Ariba Network), freight and logistics collaboration, and asset information shared with equipment makers and service providers.

Data ETL connects it to your S/4HANA or ECC system, onboards your suppliers and designs processes your partners will actually adopt. We handle the integration, the testing and the change work that makes the difference between a real network and a login nobody uses.
