Case Study: Schneider Electric achieves 45% stock clearance and lower warehouse costs with SAP

Schneider Electric - Customer Case Study

Schneider Electric, a global leader in the electricity industry, needed a way to reduce excess lead time added to sales orders during and after COVID-19 supply chain disruptions. With thousands of orders and inventory sitting in warehouses despite available stock, manual review was too slow and costly; the company turned to SAP and its ECC system to better manage order lead times without hurting on-time delivery KPIs.

SAP implemented a dedicated intelligent cockpit that analyzed stock availability, customer requested delivery dates, route schedules, and warehouse load to automatically reduce lead times where possible. The solution ran in automated mode and delivered measurable impact: Schneider Electric cleared up to 45% of stock, moved $8 million of inventory within 3 weeks in the NAM region, improved early order confirmations by 20%, and could save about 30% in inventory costs over one year.
