INDUSTRY LEAD BUILDING MATERIALS | SAP

"At this year’s SAP for Manufacturing, Materials & Mining Conference in Rome, building materials producers come together to learn from one another. You’ll hear how peers are leveraging technologies like AI across the business - from manufacturing and supply chain to finance and HR. It’s a hands‑on opportunity to learn from first movers, share experiences, and exchange ideas on what’s next for the building materials industry."

THE BIG CONVERSATIONS OF 2026

Planning and production

Balancing demand, inventory and plant capacity

How manufacturers align sales forecasts with production, improve order promising and optimise stock to protect margins while maintaining service levels.

 

Plant and project operations

Reliable sites, predictable performance

Improving asset reliability, maintenance and project execution with real-time operational visibility across plants, quarries and production sites.

Logistics and customer delivery

From factory gate to construction site

Integrating logistics, distribution and customer interactions to meet delivery windows, coordinate site requirements and improve customer satisfaction.

Commercial and intelligent ERP

Smarter selling and automated processes

Using configurable products, AI and embedded SAP ERP automation to streamline workflows, reduce cost and support faster decisions.

Across two days in Rome, you’ll hear real customer stories, practical use cases and honest lessons learned from organisations facing the same operational pressures. Expect open discussions, small-group exchanges and opportunities to connect with peers, SAP experts and partners in a setting designed for conversation rather than presentations.

This is a community-led event built around shared challenges and practical outcomes - a place to compare approaches, pressure-test ideas and leave with clear next steps you can apply inside your own business.
