Shaping the Future of After Sales / Service Parts Planning

 

Join SAP and Westernacher for a focused half-day event dedicated to transforming spare parts planning through SAP’s Extended Service Parts Planning (eSPP) solution. This event is designed for supply chain leaders, planners, and IT professionals looking to modernize their after-sales/spare parts operations, improve sustainability, and align with SAP’s digital roadmap.

While the spotlight is firmly on eSPP, we’ll also briefly highlight how SAP Transportation Management (TM), Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), and the SAP Business Network for Logistics (BN4L) can complement and strengthen your spare parts planning strategy — enabling a more resilient and connected end-to-end supply chain.

 

Why Attend?

  • Explore the latest capabilities in SAP eSPP and learn how eSPP supports sustainable planning through specialized processes like inventory balancing, repair-or-buy, and remanufacturing
  • Learn how to choose between eSPP and IBP based on your business needs
  • Connect with other peers to exchange real-world experiences and discover how they manage similar challenges — and hear directly from Vestas as they share their ongoing Spare Parts Planning Transformation Journey.
  • Hear directly from our customer Vestas about their transformation journey
  • Explore how TM, EWM, and SAP Business Network add value to spare parts planning
  • Preview the latest usability enhancements in eSPP, including Fiori UI (the end user interface) and SAC integration
