Supply chains are under constant pressure. From unpredictable demand and supply disruptions to sustainability requirements, digital transformation, and global trade complexities, organizations face an ongoing challenge to remain agile, compliant, and efficient. As an SAP user, you may be transitioning to S/4HANA, exploring process automation, improving warehouse or transportation management, or searching for better insights through analytics and reporting. Regardless of where your organization stands, supply chain optimization remains a shared priority.
Within the VNSG Focusgroep Supply Chain Management (SCM), we recognize these challenges and aim to create a platform where members can exchange knowledge, share best practices, and discuss future-ready solutions. Together with SAP and our community of professionals we explore these topics:
Through interactive sessions, expert webinars, and knowledge sharing events, we connect practitioners who want to strengthen their SAP supply chain landscape and drive innovation in their organizations.

Wendy van Hunnik – Bestuurslid focusgroep Supply Chain Management
The SAP Supply Chain domain has been my home for about 10 years now. Even after that time at every event I learn new things or meet new people who offer a different perspective on how to create a more resilient and sustainable supply chain in today’s turbulent world. Which is why I joined the VNSG SCM board, through hosting events and sharing the latest developments on SAP SCM we strive to connect and strengthen the SAP community in the Netherlands. It has been a wonderful addition to my function at Capgemini and often what I learn at the VNSG helps our clients at Capgemini and the other way around. I look forward to meeting you at our next event and collaborating on SAP Supply Chain topics!
