PepsiCo, a consistently top-ranked brand globally, has established supply chain standards that others aspire to achieve. Their session at SAP Sapphire 2023 on how they transformed their digital supply chain processes using SAP BTP was a must-attend for all. 

During the event, David Arfa, Director of Global Mobility & Enterprise Workflow at PepsiCo, shared the stage with Shrikant Nistane from Crave InfoTech.

The resulting template was scalable, manageable, replicable, and compliant, enabling quick deployment across their business units worldwide. 

This project was a complex undertaking aimed at future-proofing processes and making business operations easier. It opened the doors for incorporating more automation and intelligence into workflows and solutions using low-code/no-code approaches. 

During the session, David and Shrikant took the audience on a journey through the challenges and successes they encountered while strategizing, structuring, and executing the project. They explained how the powerful and collaborative SAP BTP platform, along with the swift SAP Build tool, played a crucial role in keeping the project on track and delivering results according to set expectations and timelines.

Our team of innovative thinkers at Sapphire made a commitment to guide and inspire at least 10 industry veterans to embrace AI-powered intelligent solutions for their warehousing, supply chain, and asset management needs.

Crave InfoTech’s RF-enabled warehouse management solution, cEWM, is built on SAP BTP. This application seamlessly integrates with TeamViewer’s Smart Glasses. 

The collaboration demonstrated the remarkable levels of automation, speed, accuracy, and convenience achieved by utilizing TeamViewer’s Smart Glasses in conjunction with Crave’s cEWM.

“This is the future of warehouse automation, and I was thrilled to witness the enthusiastic response from industry players during our demo experience. It’s one thing to highlight the impressive features of our solution, such as hands-free fast picking and counting. However, when warehouse and supply chain managers put on TeamViewer’s AR-powered Smart Glasses, they instantly grasped the intent and benefits of the solution. I could see them envision the potential time and cost savings on the spot. 

In the end, it’s our innovation, built with SAP BTP, combined with the brilliance of TeamViewer’s Smart Glasses. Yet, at SAP Sapphire, observing people trying out the glasses, I could sense the wonder and dreams taking shape. It was truly an amazing experience.”
