OVERVIEW
Traders and distributors work with large catalogues, many customers, thin margins and complex logistics. Small improvements in pricing, stock or delivery have a big effect on profit.
SAP S/4HANA supports the full trading cycle. Flexible pricing handles customer, volume and promotional prices, advanced ATP confirms availability, embedded EWM manages the warehouse, and every transaction posts to the Universal Journal so margins can be analysed by customer, product and channel at any time.
Rebate management through condition contracts, intercompany processes and multi-currency finance are standard.
Webtel delivers S/4HANA using SAP Activate, starting from SAP best practices and industry content. Fit-to-standard workshops show your teams how processes work in the standard system, so changes are limited to what genuinely sets your business apart. That keeps the core clean, makes upgrades easier and shortens the project.
