What you'll do

S/4HANA Last Mile Distribution is SAP's latest innovation for the Direct Store Delivery (DSD) industry process. This approach enables consumer product companies to deliver goods directly to points of sale - such as retail outlets, mom-and-pop stores, and vending machines - bringing manufacturers closer to their customers. By doing so, companies can influence product presentation and availability, execute in-store merchandising, and carry out targeted activities to boost market share at the individual store level.
