Colgate Supports Its Worldwide Brands with mySAP Supply Chain Management

Overview The company manages all its brands globally, and in November of 1999, it kicked off the Colgate Global Supply Chain initiative to do the same for its supply chain. Colgate wanted to leverage the investment in its core SAP R/3 solution to further enhance supply-chain performance worldwide. The business goal: improve service to retail and internal customers, reduce inventory, and improve margins. Colgate selected mySAP Supply Chain Management (mySAP SCM) to power its supply chain management initiative. Using SAP Advanced Planner and Optimiser (SAP APO), Colgate got the metrics it was looking for.
