End-to-end SAP supply chain consulting across IBP, S/4HANA, ECC, and APO — for global enterprises in pharmaceuticals, FMCG, oil & gas, and manufacturing. From blueprint to go-live, we close the gap that derails most transformations.
With over 13 years of hands-on SAP supply chain experience, Shashi has led end-to-end IBP implementations for global enterprises across pharmaceuticals, FMCG, oil & gas, and manufacturing. Formerly with leading global Tier-1 systems integrators, he brings rare depth across functional design and integration architecture. Engagements span global pharma leaders, multinational oil majors, consumer goods multinationals, specialty life sciences firms, and large-scale sugar and food processing groups across Americas, EMEA, Middle East, and Asia Pacific.
Supply Nexus Consulting was established to fill a critical gap — boutique-level SAP specialization at enterprise-grade scale. We go deep on supply chain planning, integration architecture, and operational transformation. Every engagement is led personally by our founder.
Our engagements span the full project lifecycle: from discovery workshops and solution blueprinting through sprint-based implementation and integration design, to go-live, hypercare, and continuous improvement.
From legacy ECC and APO to the latest IBP and S/4HANA — we cover the full spectrum of SAP supply chain solutions. Whether implementing fresh, migrating from APO, or optimizing an existing landscape, we bring the right expertise.
Full-suite Integrated Business Planning — Demand, Supply, Inventory, S&OP, and Response. Our core specialty from global template design through hypercare.
S/4HANA implementation, migration, and integration design across MM, PP, SD, and SCM. Embedded analytics and real-time planning.
Deep ECC expertise across MM, PP, SD, WM. Legacy optimization, interface repointing, and S/4HANA migration planning.
Advanced Planning — DP, SNP, PPDS, GATP. APO-to-IBP migration strategy ensuring planning continuity during transition.
End-to-end integration using SAP CPI, HCI, BTP, and direct APIs. Interface design, payload optimization, and OT/MES/3PL connectivity.
SAC dashboard design for S&OP, demand, inventory KPIs, and executive reporting. Embedded analytics within IBP and standalone SAC.
AI-enhanced demand sensing, ML model configuration (HGBDT, ARIMAX, ETS), and SAP Joule integration for conversational planning.
Production planning, MRP, PPM design, and embedded PPDS for detailed scheduling. Constraint-based planning and capacity management.
Real project experience across 15+ years and 10+ global implementations. Each sector brings distinct supply chain challenges that demand specialist knowledge — not generalist assumptions.
Demand planning and S&OP transformation for global pharma in regulated markets. Key work: ABC/XYZ segmentation, statistical forecasting with outlier correction, CIDS integration for production source items, and IBP rollout across multi-country pharmaceutical networks. Expertise in batch management, shelf-life constraints, and tender-driven demand patterns.
Global template design and multi-region IBP implementation for one of the world's largest sugar producers. Covers global planning area consolidation, outbound integration interfaces, Ignition-to-IBP OT integration for sugar requirements, and customer/location master data remapping. FMCG demand sensing and distribution network planning.
Supply chain planning and SAP solution design for major oil & gas operators. Covers complex procurement and supply planning, long-lead material handling, MRP/PPM configuration, and cross-functional integration between operations, procurement, and logistics. Safety stock and criticality-based inventory design.
End-to-end manufacturing planning across discrete and process industries. Covers production order integration, inventory on-hand interfaces, capacity constraint planning with ePPDS, PPM valid-from date management, and multi-plant production source configuration. Bridging shop floor data (MES/OT) with IBP planning.
SAP supply chain planning for organizations managing critical asset inventories, long-lead capital components, and service-driven supply networks. Planning under reliability constraints with risk-based inventory policies, supplier lead time management, and MRO demand forecasting for maintenance, repair, and overhaul parts.
Our SAP IBP and integration expertise translates broadly. Let's start with a discovery call to understand your specific supply chain context.
Start a ConversationA structured, proven methodology built from 15+ years of real implementation experience — not a generic consulting playbook. Every phase has defined deliverables and clear sign-offs.
Deep-dive into planning maturity — demand patterns, supply topology, data quality, and system landscape. Output: maturity assessment and confirmed scope.
Future-state planning architecture — planning area structure, key figure design, integration interfaces, and S&OP cycle. Output: FSD/TSD signed off by business and IT.
2-week sprint delivery — IBP configuration, integration build, workbook development. Each sprint closes with a client demo and unit test sign-off.
End-to-end integration testing, UAT with real business scenarios, full S&OP cycle simulation, and role-based training for all planner levels.
Structured cutover, interface activation, and planning run validation. Dedicated hypercare covers monitoring, model fine-tuning, and S&OP rhythm embedding.
Not generalists. We work exclusively in supply chain planning — every consultant is an IBP specialist fluent in MAPE, PPM, and planning area design.
Proven methodology for multi-country rollouts, regional planning area design, and scalable master data governance frameworks across diverse enterprise environments.
We close the gap between your planners and your systems — translating technical constraints into business language and requirements into precise functional specifications.
Delivery rigor built through years with leading global systems integrators — combined with the responsiveness and accountability of a boutique, founder-led firm.
Our engagement doesn't end at go-live. It ends when your team is self-sufficient and your planning KPIs are moving in the right direction.
Machine learning forecasting, demand sensing, and SAP Joule are no longer future concepts — they are live in production environments. Here is what actually works, what does not, and how to configure ML models for real supply chains operating under real constraints.
A global planning area is not simply a larger regional area. Here are the architectural decisions — planning area hierarchy, key figure inheritance, regional override logic — that determine whether your template scales or fractures at rollout.
A practical decision framework from real-world IBP integration projects across ECC, S/4HANA, MES, and OT environments.
How you configure thresholds, handle reclassification, and connect segmentation to service level policies is where real planning value is created.
Most S&OP processes fail not because of systems — but because meeting cadence and decision rights were not designed correctly from the start.
Shelf life, batch management, and tender-driven demand make pharma supply chain planning fundamentally different. How IBP handles these — and where it needs customization.
