SAP and Lima Juno — Agentic AI both bring agents to supply chain work, and each of them starts from a different place.
Drawn from the numbered sources at the foot of this page.
SAP sells Joule agents and assistants across its applications, grounded in a pre-populated SAP Knowledge Graph and a Business Data Cloud that shares data with outside warehouses. Joule Studio lets a customer shape further agents through low-code tools, MCP and Signavio process discovery, and premium use draws on consumption-based AI Units. SAP's position in the 2026 quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions stays unconfirmed in the sources checked [3][2].

Situations in which SAP’s own product is the better first move.
Many clients keep SAP and add Juno beside it; these are the things it brings.
Juno answers questions and runs agents across SAP, Oracle, planning suites and other systems together, reading each one's data in place beside SAP IBP.
Juno sets autonomy per agent on the A0 to A4 scale, with a named approver recorded at each supervised step, beside SAP's own goal-assistant-agent framing.
Juno writes an approved action back to SAP with the system's own acknowledgement kept on the audit record, beside Joule's own in-application actions.
Juno states one flat pricing unit, ahead of SAP AI Units, whose consumption rate is harder for a planner to predict.
Each card links to the capability page that shows the mechanism.
Yes, and many estates do. Juno registers SAP’s data beside the ERP and the planning system, answers questions across all of them and runs agents at the level you set for each one.
