Nagarro redesigned our client's SAP business processes to improve mission-critical supply chain transactions. We identified key factors such as due date, priority, tool availability, machine capacity, setup times and built an AI-driven digital solution. It utilized Swarm Intelligence-based multi-objective models to process master and transactional data from SAP via APIs and made decisive choices between 'make' vs 'fulfill from stock'. It also offered interactive Gantt charts, analytics dashboards, and notifications for user intervention & further analysis.
