How SAP helps Wilson keep pace with the athletes and the demand it serves.

Wilson equips the world's best athletes and serves millions of consumers across more than 100 countries. To do that at scale, it needs more than great products — it needs operations that can keep pace. Wilson relies on SAP to connect manufacturing, inventory, logistics, and commerce into a single, trusted foundation, giving every team the visibility to make faster decisions and the agility to respond when it matters most.

THE CHALLENGE

Serving the world's best and the world's millions

Alex de Minaur relies on Wilson equipment to perform at the highest level. Behind every racket, shoe, and ball is a global supply chain responsible for serving athletes and consumers in more than 100 countries.

As retail and consumer goods operations become more complex, many companies struggle with disconnected data across manufacturing, logistics, planning, and commerce systems. Wilson uses SAP to connect its operations end to end, giving teams a unified view of manufacturing, inventory, and customer demand across the business. With a trusted data foundation, Wilson can respond faster to changing demand today while laying the groundwork for more intelligent, anticipatory operations in the future.

Wilson has been part of my tennis journey for as long as I can remember. What I didn't fully appreciate until now is the scale of what happens behind the scenes, the manufacturing, the logistics, the technology, all working together to make sure everything is right. SAP is what makes that happen behind the scenes, so that when I pick up my racket, I don't have to think about anything except winning

Combined with SAP Integration Suite, this foundation helps eliminate silos, improve visibility, and create the trusted data needed for faster decision-making and future AI innovation.

For athletes like Alex de Minaur, that connectivity happens behind the scenes. From product development and manufacturing through distribution and delivery, SAP helps Wilson ensure the equipment athletes trust is ready when it matters most.
