Improve transparency, efficiency and collaboration for your supply chain with SAP IBP.
Does your business need a complete solution to effectively analyze, manage, and optimize your supply chain? SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is an intuitive, easy-to-use and efficient – cloud-based planning solution. To be able to adapt your processes to current challenges, you need tools that can analyze, manage and modify your data to best meet your logistical challenges. The international aspect of today’s supply chain is increasingly difficult to manage, due to increased demand volatility, increased complexity of networks, and the inability to obtain and communicate a holistic view of the supply network.
With SAP IBP, you can manage multiple end-to-end processes in real time by combining planning functions such as sales and operations planning, demand planning, inventory management, and purchasing planning.
This cloud-based solution, supported by SAP HANA and in-memory technology, allows you to efficiently plan your business by simulating the effects of customer demands on your processes in terms of capacity, cost and profitability. SAP IBP efficiently executes planning processes through real-time supply chain management while allowing you to analyze data and generate real-time reports with the dashboard and other SAP Fiori applications.
SAP IBP is a supply chain management system that provides full supply chain transparency. Indeed, the globalization of supply networks is increasing its complexity, thereby increasing the demand for software that can quickly process large data to provide meaningful information. With the SAP HANA architecture, SAP IBP enables rapid data analysis and modification. Because the solution is integrated with a web user interface and Microsoft Excel, the S&OP process is optimized based on statistical forecasting procedures and information from sales, marketing, finance and operations.
Access to real-time data makes it easier to visualize the challenges and opportunities of a supply network, and is made possible with SAP IBP on HANA. SAP IBP comes with the SAP Fiori web ui, which allows you to create custom dashboards and charts – these can be quickly updated and modified to best fit the user. Microsoft Excel provides the information needed to plan processes. Five different applications are available for structured planning: Supply Chain Control Tower, IBP for S&OP, IBP for Demand, IBP for Inventory and IBP for Response & Supply.
SAP Jam is a collaborative communication platform, integrated into the SAP IBP solution. Your employees can easily share information, manage tasks, alerts, etc. allowing you to communicate more quickly and share task tracking. Users can assign tasks to other colleagues, comment, and follow up to ensure task management is as smooth as possible. With the built-in calendar system, it’s easy to monitor what tasks remain to be completed and indicate why changes have been made.
