"Streamlined End-to-End Planning with Real-Time Visibility in SAP IBP"

5/5

What do you like best about SAP Integrated Business Planning?

What I like most about SAP Integrated Business Planning is that it brings multiple planning activities—such as demand, supply, and inventory planning—into a single platform. This makes it much easier to get a clear, end-to-end view of business requirements and plan accordingly. Features like demand forecasting, real-time data visibility, and scenario planning are particularly useful for supporting better, more informed decisions. It also cuts down on manual work, improves coordination across teams, and helps surface potential supply or demand issues early. Overall, it makes the planning process feel more organised, efficient, and reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Integrated Business Planning?

One area where SAP IBP could improve is the initial setup and the platform’s overall complexity. It can take a while for new users to understand the various features and workflows, especially if they aren’t already familiar with SAP planning tools. Some configuration and customisation options also require technical knowledge, which can make implementation and ongoing adjustments feel challenging. Reporting is another point where the experience could be smoother. Generating reports and moving between different planning views isn’t always as straightforward as it could be. Better in-product guidance, simpler navigation, and more flexible reporting options would make SAP IBP easier to use and would improve the overall user experience.

What problems is SAP Integrated Business Planning solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before we started using SAP IBP, managing demand, supply, and inventory planning across different teams was quite challenging. Information was often scattered across multiple spreadsheets and systems, which made it hard to maintain a clear view of actual requirements or spot potential issues early. With SAP IBP, we’re able to bring these planning activities into one place, improve overall visibility, and make better decisions using more up-to-date data. Features such as demand forecasting and scenario planning help us anticipate changes, avoid unnecessary inventory build-up, and manage supply-demand gaps more effectively. It has also strengthened coordination between teams and reduced the time we spend on manual planning work. Overall, SAP IBP has made our planning process more structured, transparent, and efficient.
