Integrated Supply Chain Execution (ISCE)

Execute decisions at the speed of business

SAP-integrated supply chain execution dashboard showcasing real-time MRP planning, procurement automation, and inventory analytics, powered by Integrated Supply Chain Execution (ISCE).

Integrated Supply Chain Execution (ISCE) bridges the gap between planning and execution, connecting in real time with SAP IBP, Kinaxis, BlueYonder, o9 Solutions, and other planning tools to streamline and execute MRP, procurement, inventory, and production processes efficiently inside SAP.

ISCE isn't another system—it’s a smarter way to execute supply chain decisions inside SAP.

Reduce supply chain execution time by eliminating manual interventions

Improve on-time delivery and service levels with real-time visibility

Align procurement, material planning, and production execution into one seamless process

What is Integrated Supply Chain Execution (ISCE)?

Integrated Supply Chain Execution (ISCE) is a process-driven framework that ensures supply chain decisions, from procurement to production, are executed in real-time within SAP.

ISCE connects planning with execution by automating workflows, synchronizing inventory and procurement, and optimizing MRP-driven processes. It eliminates manual interventions, fragmented processes, and execution delays, so businesses can make faster, smarter supply chain decisions.

ISCE isn’t just a tool—it’s a smarter way to execute supply chain operations with speed and precision inside SAP.

Bring procurement & planning execution together in one SAP cockpit

Reduce manual effort and execute supply chain decisions faster—directly inside SAP.

Tired of toggling between MD04, ME57, ME58, and Excel? The Execution Cockpit unifies procurement and planning into one execution hub inside SAP. Automate PR to PO, flag material shortages, and act on supplier delays—all from one screen. Get faster decisions, fewer errors, and better visibility—no middleware required.

ISCE is a real-time execution hub inside SAP that does three things:

Bridges the gap between planning and execution

Ensures procurement, material planning, and production scheduling work seamlessly together.

Automates execution processes inside SAP

Reduces reliance on spreadsheets, emails, and manual adjustments.

Provides real-time supply chain visibility

Flags risks, shortages, and disruptions before they impact operations.

Optimizing supply chain KPIs with ISCE

Improve service level and on-time delivery

Delays in procurement and material availability impact margin and customer service.

With ISCE, late suppliers, missing parts, and stockouts no longer catch you off guard. Real-time execution ensures procurement, inventory, and production stay aligned—so materials arrive where and when they’re needed.

Key features:

  • MRP exception management: Prioritizes critical material shortages and delays, so planners take action before they disrupt delivery schedules.
  • Missing parts alerts: Automatically identifies components that could cause delays and flags them for quick resolution.
  • Supplier risk monitoring: Tracks supplier performance in real-time to identify unreliable vendors and prevent disruptions.
 

Reduce excess inventory and free up working captial

Too much cash is tied up in inventory.

Overstocking drains profits, while shortages disrupt operations. ISCE dynamically adjusts inventory based on demand fluctuations, preventing excess stock while ensuring production never stops.

Key features:

  • Forecast-driven MRP: Uses demand forecasting to trigger precise MRP execution, preventing stock accumulation.
  • Safety stock optimization: Dynamically adjusts safety stock based on demand variability, reducing excess inventory.
  • Automated replenishment: Ensures inventory is replenished at the right levels across multiple warehouses.
 

Keep production on schedule 

Production delays bleed time and money.

ISCE keeps MRP execution in sync with demand, ensuring materials, production schedules, and workforce availability stay aligned—so bottlenecks and last-minute disruptions are avoided.

Key features:

  • Rough-cut planning: Matches production demand with workforce and machine availability.
  • Work center scheduling: Ensures manufacturing resources are utilized effectively.
  • Planned order to production order conversion: Accelerates execution by automating order release.
 

Streamline procurement and supplier performance

Slow PO processing and unreliable suppliers cause major distruptions.

Stop chasing purchase orders and waiting on suppliers. ISCE automates procurement execution inside SAP, speeds up PO processing, and monitors supplier performance to prevent delays.

Key features:

  • Automated purchase requisition processing: Convert MRP purchase requistions into POs with a single click.
  • Supplier performance analytics: Track vendor on-time delivery and reliability.
  • Supplier risk monitoring: Tracks supplier performance in real-time to identify unreliable vendors and prevent disruptions.
 

Cut costs and improve supply chain profitability

Inefficient execution drives up costs across the board.

ISCE minimizes excess spending on procurement, storage, and production by aligning execution with real demand—reducing waste, lowering carrying costs, and improving operational efficiency.

Key features:

  • What-if scenario planning: Helps planners model execution scenarios to reduce costs.
  • Demand-based replenishment: Lowers storage costs by keeping inventory aligned with actual demand.
  • Advanced segmentation for MRP planning: Ensures cost-effective procurement and inventory allocation.
