More stock turns, less working capital.
Distributors sit between global principals and some of the world’s fastest-moving retail markets — more SKUs, tighter delivery windows and working capital that cannot keep growing with the catalogue.
Altivate builds the SAP core this business runs on: SAP S/4HANA across finance and every branch, SAP Integrated Business Planning for demand, SAP Extended Warehouse Management and SAP Transportation Management from dock to doorstep, and SAP Commerce Cloud with SAP Sales Cloud on every channel.
Then we make it intelligent — SAP Business AI and Joule in the order-to-cash flow, and Altivate agentic AI working on your own sales, stock and delivery data.
The result: higher service levels on leaner inventory, and margins that survive the last mile.
The pressures reshaping distribution
Margins are set between principals above and delivery expectations below.
What Altivate delivers on SAP
The distribution core, from the buying desk to the doorstep.
One core, every branch
SAP S/4HANA runs finance, procurement and sales on one core across branches, warehouses and principals. Intercompany, rebates and pricing stop being month-end archaeology.
From dock to doorstep
SAP Extended Warehouse Management drives receiving, putaway and wave picking at retail pace, while SAP Transportation Management plans and tracks every delivery run. Promise dates become commitments, not estimates.
Demand planned, not guessed
SAP Integrated Business Planning forecasts at SKU and channel level and balances stock across the network. Working capital comes down without service levels following it.
Every channel, one order book
SAP Commerce Cloud and SAP Sales Cloud put B2B portals, sales reps and e-commerce on the same catalogue, pricing and stock. Customers see one company however they order.
Where AI changes the game
Intelligence working on the distributor’s own sales, stock and delivery data.
Joule in order-to-cash
SAP Business AI and Joule work inside SAP S/4HANA and SAP Sales Cloud, resolving order, pricing and delivery questions in the flow of work. The order desk answers customers in minutes, not callbacks.
Agents on your network data
Altivate agentic AI works on your own sales, stock and delivery data to spot stock-outs forming, rebalance between branches and chase failing deliveries. Planners approve moves instead of hunting for them.
Forecasts that earn trust
AI-driven forecasting in SAP Integrated Business Planning learns promotion, season and channel patterns from your own history. Buyers commit with confidence because the forecast keeps proving itself.
