Dave BookerStrategy Program Manager and IBP Manager Ego Pharmaceuticals
Ego Pharmaceuticals is a rapidly growing family owned company with brands such as QV, Moov, SunSense and the original Pinetarsol. To cope with the growth, they invested in SAP IBP to capture forecasts, create visibility in their outlook and to get rid of lots and lots of spreadsheets. After going live with a minimal viable product due to key stakeholder changes, they are now continually creating visibility and looking to increase collaboration internally. The implementation was a key plank in starting the IBP business process and was also a finalist in the 2022 SAP Best Run awards in Digital Supply Chain. Dave Booker is the Strategy Program and IBP Manager for Ego Pharmaceuticals and was the Project manager for this project.
