End-to-end process · Plan to Produce

From demand planning to finished product

Will we hit the date? SAP knows. Now everyone can ask.

Production order status, material shortages, missing confirmations, quality signals - the answers live in SAP, but the questions come from the line, the shift handover and the daily. Bridge closes that distance: ask in Teams, get the plan-to-produce truth in seconds. Built for make-to-stock, useful far beyond it.

The grind today

Shortages get discovered at the daily. They happened yesterday.

Planners live in COOIS and MD04; everyone else lives off their answers. The supervisor asks the planner, the planner checks three transactions, and by the time the shortage reaches the meeting it has cost a shift. The information was in SAP the whole time - it just couldn't get to the floor.

A real exchange

The shop floor's questions, answered off the line.

Bridge in Microsoft Teams

Illustrative - answers come live from your SAP.

Four surfaces, one plant

From the line to the planning office to the customer's inbox.

In Teams

Order status, shortages and confirmations answered line-side, on the phone in the aisle - the supervisor stops queueing at the planner's desk.

"Is anything blocking order 1000023?"

In Outlook

A customer asks about their date: pull the production status behind the sales order into your reply. A supplier confirms a delivery? Check it against the shortage list right there.

"What's the production status behind this customer's order?"

In SharePoint

The weekly plan as a list in your workspace: Bridge checks the batch against material availability and order status - and files the exception list back before the planning meeting.

"Check this week's plan for shortages."

In Excel*

A production order number in a cell: status, confirmations and shortages behind it - in the planner's own sheet. Later phase: findings written back into the plan.

"How far is the order in this cell?"

* Excel arrives in a later release.
