Predicting demand, managing stock, and keeping supply chains running smoothly is a challenge, especially when market conditions shift unexpectedly. Without the right tools, businesses risk delays, excess inventory, or lost sales.

SAP Integrated Business Planning (SAP IBP) helps tackle these challenges by combining advanced forecasting, real-time insights, and automation into a single system. The solution ensures complete supply chain visibility, scenario planning with real-time updates, better collaboration, and other benefits.

Unified data model based on SAP S/4HANA

All planning activities use consistent data across departments. This improves coordination and avoids duplication of effort.

Integrated planning

Demand, supply, inventory, and financial planning are connected. This means changes in one area automatically reflect in others.

Adaptable user-friendly interfaces

The interface design is simple and flexible, with configuration options to match different business roles and workflows.

SAP Best Practices adoption

SAP IBP includes ready-to-use templates and reference content based on SAP Best Practices, helping reduce deployment time and risk.

ML-driven statistical forecasting

Built-in algorithms analyse historical data and external signals to produce more accurate demand forecasts, reducing manual effort.

Scenario modelling for better planning decisions

Planners can simulate multiple business scenarios using real data to assess outcomes and choose the most effective approach.

SAP Work Zone for effective communication

The platform supports collaboration and faster decision-making by bringing together data, planning tools, and communication in one place.

Modular setup for specific planning needs

Each IBP module can run independently or together, allowing businesses to focus on immediate planning priorities first.

SAP IBP runs on SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It receives quarterly updates without disrupting system stability.

This module supports cross-functional planning by aligning demand, supply, and finance. It provides early visibility into imbalances, such as excess stock or upcoming shortages, and helps identify potential bottlenecks.
