Sage X3
Both b2wise and Sage X3 recognize the limitations of traditional MRP in today’s VUCA world. Sage X3's adoption of Demand Driven MRP (DDMRP) confirms that even the largest ERP providers acknowledge that embedded MRP systems struggle with modern variability and complexity.
The b2wise connector allows your Sage X3 systems to have a bi-lateral transfer of data and information, making integration quick and simple.

b2wise is more than just software
b2wise is your one-stop shop for all your Demand Driven requirements, offering methodology training, change management, software, and ongoing support. Simply implementing a basic DDMRP model won’t deliver the expected results—success comes from a complete, refined approach, which b2wise has refined with over 200 global implementations.
b2wise is more than just DDMRP
While DDMRP is a powerful material planning foundation, it’s only part of the solution. To build a truly competitive flow based planning process, your demand driven solution needs to include Scheduling, Forecasting, and S&OP. b2wise delivers all of this in one end-to-end supply chain planning platform, linking strategy to the shop floor with far more flexibility than traditional systems like Sage X3, and keeping your model adaptable in today’s VUCA world.
