Native Multi‑Tenant Support in IBM Sterling Intelligent Promising Containers

Today, SIP containers do not support hosting multiple brands, markets, or inventory organizations within a single SIP instance (As OMS GIV does, with multiple inventory organizations). This limitation forces customers to deploy one SIP instance per brand or market, even when the business operates under a unified enterprise model.

Enabling native multi‑tenant or multi‑inventory‑organization support within SIP would benefit:

  • Organizations with multiple brands, each having its own SKU sets, nodes, supply rules, or inventory policies

  • Retailers operating across multiple geographies/markets with shared operational platforms

  • Companies with lower‑volume brands/markets, where separate SIP instances are not cost‑effective

What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

Our business operates multiple brands across different geographies, each with its own OMS enterprise. While these brands are distinct from an operational standpoint, they share common IT investments and infrastructure.

Today, due to SIP’s single‑tenant constraint, we must deploy separate SIP instances for each brand or market. For some brands with low order and inventory volumes, this results in disproportionate infrastructure overhead and operational inefficiency.

We are seeking the ability to:

  • Host multiple brands/markets inside one SIP tenant

  • Maintain clear separation of inventory organizations

  • Keep brand‑specific configuration isolated but centrally manageable

  • Use a single SIP deployment for multiple OMS organizations
