Frozen and temperature-controlled supply chains are among the most challenging environments for supply chain planners. Rigid logistics networks, strict shelf-life requirements, and volatile demand patterns often push traditional planning tools to their limits.
In this webinar, we explore a real-world case study that demonstrates how an end-to-end planning approach powered by SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) can transform cold chain operations.
Using ice cream as a practical example of a highly constrained frozen product, we show how SAP IBP helps organizations synchronize demand forecasting, supply planning, inventory optimization, and shelf-life management within a single integrated platform.
You will learn how advanced scenario planning, constrained supply algorithms, and real-time visibility enable faster, smarter, and more resilient decision-making across the entire value chain.
Whether you operate in frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, or any temperature-sensitive industry, this session will provide practical insights and proven strategies to elevate your planning capabilities.
This webinar will be conducted in Romanian.
