In this video, there are number of resources retailers can explore. Please browse the following tips for diving deeper into topics that matter to your business:

  • Consider the latest solutions that help address immediate challenges. As new tools and tactics are being developed in real time to support businesses like yours, SAP is offering practical help and free access to select software to tackle disruption induced by COVID-19, including Remote Work Pulse to keep in touch with how employees are doing. We are also providing SAP Ariba Discovery, which has enabled a customer to find 500 hospital beds in just 30 minutes at a time when it couldn’t matter more.
