SAP GIS
SAP Supply Chain: GIS
For an effective problem-solving tool, organizations should consider driving their business from a sophisticated map. This will improve decision-making and compliance by combining operational business data with geographic information.

A geographic information system (GIS) creates, captures, manages, analyzes, and displays all forms of geographically referenced information. The key word is geography, meaning some portion of the data is spatial. GIS relies on data creation that is a multi-stage process, requiring management to create a reliable, accurate database. Adding geospatial data to the technical data for a holistic picture provides simple, intuitive, and map-based navigation.
Key capabilities include:

It includes relationships between locations, where features exist, what is happening in an area, or how an area has changed over time.
Benefits are:
- Improve return on assets: Prioritize work, scheduled outages, and increase asset reliability
- Minimize operational risk: Enhance the power of data to solidify decision making and compliance
- Increase workforce productivity: Increase performance by maps enriched with federated GIS data layers
