The SAP NOW AI Tour ANZ 2025 in Melbourne brought together SAP experts, and industry peers for a terrific day of insights and networking.
One of our favourite moments was seeing our Managing Director, Evan Mantis, take the stage to share our latest successes, future initiatives and upcoming events with SAP, particularly around Retail and Public Cloud.
Evan was also interviewed on how SAP Retail AI is transforming the industry in Australia and New Zealand, enabling retailers to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market. He used the real world example of Enterprise Wide using SAP AI to solve a customer’s major product data challenge in just two weeks — at a fraction of the projected cost.
Other key takeaways include:
- Smarter demand forecasting: AI/ML algorithms are helping retailers reduce stockouts and waste, ensuring shelves are stocked with the right products at the right time.
- Personalised product recommendations: AI-driven insights are driving higher revenue in both B2B and B2C commerce.
- Enhanced satisfaction & productivity: AI is creating better experiences for customers while boosting employee efficiency.
- Strategic alignment is key: Business and technology strategies must work in harmony to fully realise AI’s potential.
- Start with objectives in mind: Successful transformations begin with aligning clear business goals to the right technology solutions from day one.
A huge thank you to the entire SAP team for hosting such a fantastic event. We’re already looking forward to SAP NOW 2026!
