Blog / Intelligent Planning for the Future: Google Cloud and SAP with Pi Agent on Planning in a Box on Google Agentspace.

Pluto7, a strategic partner of both Google Cloud and SAP, is driving the next wave of enterprise automation through Agentic AI. The recently expanded partnership between SAP and Google Cloud opens up new possibilities for intelligent planning, particularly around inventory positioning, demand forecasting, and workflow automation. Central to this evolution is the integration of Planning in a Box – Pi Agent within Google Agentspace—a powerful step toward enabling Agentic Actions across SAP landscapes.

As businesses face increasingly complex challenges, including tariff-related disruptions and demand volatility, traditional planning methods are no longer enough. Pluto7’s Agentic platform, including Demand Agent and Inventory Agent (available on the Google Cloud Marketplace), bridges SAP with Google Cloud’s advanced AI infrastructure—unlocking real-time, intelligent planning capabilities.

Planning Reimagined: SAP + Google Cloud + Pi Agent

Pi Agent acts as the intelligence layer, orchestrating decision-making and execution across the supply chain. When integrated with SAP systems, it enables:

Smarter Inventory Positioning for Tariff Scenarios

Agents analyze historical data, real-time inventory, tariff costs, and external variables (e.g., weather, transport data) to recommend optimal inventory placement. This minimizes stockouts, reduces holding costs, and improves resilience in tariff-affected regions.

Enhanced Demand Sensing and Forecasting

Using machine learning models on Google Cloud, agents continuously evaluate multiple data sources—including economic indicators and social signals—to generate accurate, granular demand forecasts directly within the SAP environment.

Automated Workflow Execution

Agent Actions go beyond insights to drive execution:

  • PO Creation: When inventory drops below threshold, agents automatically trigger purchase order creation in SAP.
  • Work Order Generation: Predictive maintenance signals—such as sensor data—can prompt automatic work order creation in SAP’s Plant Maintenance module.

This level of automation reduces manual effort, accelerates response times, and enables proactive operations.

Connecting AI Agents: The Role of Agent2Agent in Generative AI

SAP’s leadership in the Agent2Agent (A2A) Interoperability Protocol is a foundational shift. As a contributor to this open standard, SAP is enabling seamless collaboration between AI agents across platforms. This unlocks a new dimension of interoperability, allowing Pi Agent in Google Agent Space to work in tandem with other specialized agents—creating end-to-end, adaptive systems.

SAP is also expanding access to Google’s Vertex AI models within its Generative AI Hub, enabling agents to generate intelligent reports, summarize complex datasets, and support natural language interactions inside SAP systems.

Multimodal Understanding: From Text to Video with RAG

Planning in a Box, helps unlock Multimodal Understanding with Google Video Intelligence. The integration of Google Video Intelligence for Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) opens up exciting possibilities for enhancing knowledge sourcing and user interaction. Imagine agents that can understand not just text, but also visual information—leading to richer training materials and more effective support within your SAP environment.

Business Impact for SAP Customers

For SAP users operating on Google Cloud, the implications of this integration are significant:

  • Unified Data Access: Connect inventory and supply chain data across SAP and non-SAP systems using BigQuery, SAP Datasphere, or both.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automate repetitive processes and focus human capital on high-value tasks.
  • Informed Decision-Making: Deliver real-time alerts and data-driven recommendations to reduce shortages, manage excess, and avoid unnecessary tariff costs.
  • Enterprise Agility: Rapidly adapt to shifting regulations, customer demand, and supply disruptions with agent-driven actions.

As the SAP–Google Cloud partnership deepens, Planning in a Box – Pi Agent is positioned to accelerate intelligent planning across the enterprise. The future of supply chain, inventory, and operations planning is agentic, connected, and cloud-powered.
