Which SAP BTP capability is crucial for supply chain resilience in the logistics industry?

Supply chain resilience depends on visibility and the ability to react to disruptions in real-time. The SAP Integration Suite on BTP is crucial here because it enables real-time data exchange and tracking across a global network of suppliers, carriers, and warehouses. In the logistics industry, delays at a single port or a shortage of specific raw materials can have a cascading effect. By integrating IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, GPS tracking, and carrier management systems through the BTP Integration Suite, companies can gain a "control tower" view of their entire supply chain.

This connectivity allows for "event-driven" logistics. For example, if a shipment is delayed, the system can automatically trigger a notification in the SAP S/4HANA system, recalculate production schedules, and notify customers—all without manual intervention. This level of automation and visibility is what builds resilience; it allows businesses to pivot quickly when faced with unexpected challenges. Positioning SAP BTP as the integration hub for logistics ensures that data flows smoothly between the "digital core" and the physical world of shipping and receiving. This transforms the supply chain from a linear, often opaque process into a dynamic, responsive network that can withstand the pressures of modern global commerce.
