As global supply chains face growing disruption from digital innovation, geopolitical volatility, and shifting consumer expectations, organizations are under increasing pressure to modernize logistics and procurement operations. This review examines the strategic impact of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, a next-generation cloud-native ERP suite built on the in-memory HANA database, on digital supply chain transformation. Unlike legacy systems, SAP S/4HANA Cloud offers real-time data processing, embedded analytics, machine learning, and flexible deployment options that enhance end-to-end visibility, process automation, and strategic sourcing. Drawing from scholarly literature, vendor documentation, and real-world case studies from leading Nigerian enterprises such as Dangote Group, MTN Nigeria, NNPC, and TotalEnergies Nigeria, the paper highlights how the platform enables predictive logistics, digital warehousing, automated procurement, and integrated supplier collaboration. The analysis also surfaces practical challenges, including change management, integration with legacy infrastructure, and compliance with data sovereignty laws. Ultimately, the paper positions SAP S/4HANA Cloud as a transformative enabler for resilient, intelligent, and adaptive supply chains, while emphasizing the importance of phased implementation, user upskilling, and continuous innovation for sustainable adoption.
