Consumer Products Goods

Industries

Every shelf stocked, every promotion accounted for.

Consumer-goods companies fight for shelf and screen against private labels, volatile demand and retailers who expect near-perfect service.

Altivate runs the commercial engine on SAP S/4HANA — order-to-cash and plan-to-deliver — with SAP Integrated Business Planning for demand and supply, SAP Trade Promotion Management to make every dollar of trade spend accountable, and SAP Sales Cloud and SAP Commerce Cloud across your routes to market.

We make it intelligent with SAP Business AI and Joule, plus Altivate agentic AI working on your own sales and promotion data.

The result: fewer stock-outs, promotions that pay back, and a faster cash cycle.

From plan to shelf: the consumer-goods value chain runs on SAP S/4HANA and its commercial edge, feeds the data and AI layer, and lands on availability and margin outcomes.
The pressures

The pressures reshaping consumer goods

Margins in the consumer sector are decided in planning cycles and trade terms, not just on price.

Private labels and discounters compress margins on every category.
Demand swings around Ramadan and seasonal peaks punish rigid plans.
Trade spend is one of the largest cost lines — and often the least visible.
Routes to market span modern trade, traditional trade and e-commerce, each with its own economics.
Retailers demand near-perfect service levels and the data to prove them.
Delivery

What Altivate delivers on SAP

One commercial engine from demand plan to cleared cash.

Order-to-cash without friction

SAP S/4HANA runs order-to-cash from retailer order to cleared cash, with pricing, rebates and claims handled in the core. Disputes shrink and collection speeds up.

Plans that survive reality

SAP Integrated Business Planning connects demand, supply and inventory targets to SAP S/4HANA plan-to-deliver execution. Seasonal peaks are planned, not merely survived.

Trade spend you can defend

SAP Trade Promotion Management ties every promotion to budget, execution and settlement. You finally see which deals build the brand and which just buy volume.

Sell on every route

SAP Sales Cloud equips key-account and field teams while SAP Commerce Cloud runs B2B and direct channels. One commercial picture across modern trade, traditional trade and online.

The edge

Where AI changes the game

Intelligence on your own sales, promotion and supply data.

Joule for commercial teams

Joule answers questions on orders, promotions and stock inside SAP, in plain language. SAP Business AI brings forecasting and recommendations into daily planning work.

Agents on your sales data

Altivate agentic AI works on your own sales, promotion and supply data — matching deductions, monitoring service levels and preparing account reviews. Your teams keep the judgement calls.

Demand sensed, not guessed

Models read sales signals, seasonality and promotions together so plans move with the market. Stock-outs and write-offs both fall when the forecast leads.
