Supply chain control tower (SCCT) enables supply chain professionals to navigate, analyze and profitably manage their supply chain in real time. It creates an end to end visibility of the supply chain along with a real time integration with SAP data sources. It also has the option to drill down to detailed order level information. Finally the best part is the configurable analytics, alerts and case management.

Hi, Anand.

Thanks for sharing. My team is also currently studying the SAP IBP solution alongside other solutions such as Kinaxis RapidResponse.

Your blog says, "Unlike other control tower offerings such as Kinaxis, e2open or GT nexus, SCCT are connecting supply chain planning & execution."

May I please clarify on what this means for you, because I have also read about Kinaxis and there is a write back option to SAP systems. Appreciate your reply. Thank you.

Here I was trying to explain the bond between the SAP planning & execution systems. The communication is always simple here when compared with the third party systems.I have not directly worked on the Kinaxis write back option but I think we still  require middle wares & complexes interfaces
