Slide 1: The Batch-AI Clog
The gap between event and action is what defines supply chain performance in the AI era.
0 data copies for STREAM Agents: they read live SAP via zero-copy streaming. No warehouse. No duplicate infrastructure. 24hr+ batch lag eliminated: warehouse pipelines land data 24 to 48 hours after the event, so agents on those copies act after the window has closed. 850,000+ SAP tables live-accessible via MCP Catalog for any agent that can call an API. P2P Agent autonomous in production since November 2023: two years of continuous operation on live enterprise data. Not a demo. Not a pilot.
Slide 2: Four Operational Needs Blocked
Four operational needs, all blocked by the same batch-AI clog.
Exception Handling: Weekly batch review. Exceptions rot in queues. What's needed: detect and route as it happens, with full SAP context, closed within the operational window.
Decision Speed: Data warehoused overnight, reports built in the morning, decisions made after the event window has closed. What's needed: agent acts within seconds of the operational event.
Human Oversight: Agent runs on a copy outside the SAP security model. Approvals in a separate tool. Audit split across systems. What's needed: every action reviewable, approvable, and auditable in the native SAP model.
Scale Economics: Each agent needs its own pipeline. Each pipeline duplicates SAP data, storage, and governance. What's needed: cost that scales with agents, not with copies.
Slide 3: Five Points in the Operational Cycle
Five points across the operational cycle where agents intervene, each on live data, not batch copies.
- Point 1: Demand Signal to Plan. Agent monitors order intake, forecast deviation, and inventory position live. Surfaces plan-breaking events within the fulfillment window, not the next planning cycle.
- Point 2: Plan to Procurement. Agent watches for supplier delays, PO exceptions, and price variances as they happen. Routes to the right buyer with full SAP context, not batch report inbox.
- Point 3: Procurement to Production. Agent tracks goods receipt, quality holds, and production variance live. Reallocates inventory and reprioritizes orders before the shortage propagates.
- Point 4: Production to Fulfillment. Agent monitors throughput, shipment status, and customer commitments live. Flags at-risk orders and proposes recovery before the SLA is missed.
- Point 5: Fulfillment to Cash. Agent watches invoice cycle, dispute events, and payment status. Surfaces cash-blocking exceptions with full order-to-cash context, closed the same day.
Common thread: Every intervention is live, in the SAP security model, and reviewable in native SAP audit trail. Fix at the event, fix everywhere.
Slide 4: The Solution Loop
Sense, surface, approve, act. Every step on live SAP.
Batch-AI
Nightly warehouse extract · exceptions in report inbox · approval outside SAP · execution manual by operator
STREAM Agents
Live SAP via zero-copy stream · prioritized exception with context · native SAP roles for approval · SAP-certified execution
Sense: Agents monitor live SAP events via zero-copy streaming. No warehouse extract, no batch pipeline. Every state change is visible as it happens.
Surface: Exceptions arrive with full operational context: linked documents, upstream root cause, downstream impact. Not a row in a report.
Approve: Human-in-the-loop wherever business policy requires it. Native SAP application authorizations. No shadow approval tool.
Act: Agents execute via SAP-certified interfaces. Every action lands in the SAP audit trail. Correctable in the SAP correction model.
Slide 5: Meet the Agents
Ready-to-deploy agents, streaming live SAP data from day one.
P2P Agent (Supply Chain): Autonomous procure-to-pay exception handling. Monitors live operational events, surfaces exceptions, and resolves them without human batch review cycles. In production since November 2023.
SAP Chat (UI and API): Natural language SAP execution. Any TCODE or report accessed through conversation. Operators act without navigating SAP GUI. Programmatic API for embedding SAP execution into any application.
AI Execution (Supply Chain): Agents executing supply chain decisions on live data: inventory allocation, order prioritization, exception routing. At the speed of the operational event.
AI Insights API: Combined SAP, trade, and sales intelligence through a single API. End-to-end supply chain AI on live data. The complete operational picture for agents and apps.
Slide 6: Executive Personas
Your clog by function, and the STREAM Agents entry point for each.
COO: Supply chain exceptions caught weekly, should be seconds. Replenishment signals 24 to 48 hours late. Safety stock held against uncertainty that could be removed. Entry point: P2P Agent and AI Execution. Autonomous since November 2023. Question: "How many supply chain exceptions did your team handle manually last month?"
CFO: Cashflow forecasts on last week's receivables. Working capital tied to exceptions that could close today. Entry point: P2P Agent for O2C and AR exception handling. Question: "How much working capital is tied to exceptions your team could close today with better information?"
CDO / CAIO: AI running on hours-old warehouse copies. Every agent needs its own pipeline. Governance duplicated per copy. Entry point: STREAM MCP and AI Insights API. Live SAP for AI agents via zero-copy streaming. Question: "How many pipelines does each of your AI agents need today, and how fresh is the data on the other side?"
CIO: Will agents destabilize SAP? Where does data go? Another integration project? Entry point: STREAM Activate. SAP NetWeaver certified. No ABAP. Clean-core aligned. Data never leaves your environment. 100% native SAP authorizations. Question: "What is your current cost and risk of feeding SAP data to AI agents?"
