SAP Integrated Business Planning is an intuitive cloud-based solution that consists of tools for analyzing, managing and changing data so as to meet logistical challenges more easily. International aspects of supply chains have become more challenging due to volatile demand fluctuations, complex networks and difficulties communicating a comprehensive overview. This makes planning increasingly more complicated.
SAP IBP allows you to oversee multiple end-to-end processes simultaneously by combining functions like sales and operations planning with demand planning as well as inventory management and purchasing planning. Powered by SAP HANA, this cloud-based software enables efficient planning by simulating customer service level demands on processes including capacity utilization costs and profitability analysis based on simulation models.
Additionally SAP IBP executes planning through real time supply chain management as well as real time report generation using dashboards, SAP Fiori apps or other SAP tools - saving both time and effort when managing multiple processes simultaneously.
