End-to-end visibility across the product lifecycle — from material sourcing through manufacturing to end-of-life disposal — all within a single platform.
It directly connects sustainability goals to real operational data, so it's not just reporting for compliance, it's actionable intelligence. For someone in Strategic Sourcing and NPD, the ability to track recyclability, extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations, and material compliance at the design stage — before a product even goes to production — is a genuine competitive differentiator.

Implementation complexity and data readiness are the real pain points.
The tool is only as good as the data you feed into it, and most organizations simply aren’t set up with the clean, structured material and supplier data it requires. As a result, there’s a heavy pre-work burden before you see any meaningful value.
On top of that, the high cost of entry makes it hard to justify for mid-sized organizations. Integration with legacy ERP environments is rarely plug-and-play, even within SAP’s own ecosystem. Regulatory updates (EPR, packaging directives) can also lag behind fast-moving policy changes, which leaves compliance teams filling the gaps manually.
For Strategic Sourcing and NPD specifically, supplier-level sustainability data is often incomplete. That limits how actionable the tool really is at the design stage, where decisions matter most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
