SAP Integrated Business Planning Solutions

Gain full control over your supply chain

The complexity of your supply chain has increased significantly in a short period of time, making it nearly impossible to maintain a clear overview. Agility is no longer optional - it’s essential.

Rising complexity, unpredictable disruptions, and mounting sustainability pressures demand a planning solution that’s both intelligent and responsive. SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) empowers your organization to anticipate change, align operations, and make data-driven decisions with confidence.

As a SAP Platinum Partner, delaware helps you unlock the full potential of IBP to build a resilient, future-ready supply chain.

Explore the SAP IBP solution areas - tailored to your specific supply chain planning needs:

SAP IBP for sales and operations bridges the gap between strategic planning and operational execution. It uses real-time order data to generate feasible plans that consider actual constraints such as production capacity, transportation, and material availability. This solution is especially valuable for companies needing to synchronize planning with execution systems like SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC, ensuring agility and responsiveness in fast-changing environments.
SAP IBP for demand helps organizations improve forecast accuracy by combining statistical models, machine learning, and external data such as market trends or weather. It supports collaborative forecasting across departments and partners, ensuring alignment between sales, marketing, and supply chain. This solution is perfect for businesses facing volatile demand patterns and looking to reduce forecast error, improve service levels, and optimize inventory.
SAP IBP Supply focuses on mid- to long-term supply planning, helping businesses balance supply and demand while considering constraints like production capacity, supplier lead times, and transportation limits. It supports scenario planning and what-if simulations to evaluate the impact of changes in demand, supply disruptions, or new product introductions. This solution is ideal for companies looking to optimize their supply network and improve planning reliability.
SAP IBP Inventory Optimization enables companies to determine the optimal inventory targets across the entire supply chain network. It considers variability in demand and supply, lead times, and service level goals to recommend the right stock levels at the right locations. This solution is ideal for businesses aiming to reduce working capital while maintaining high service levels and avoiding stockouts or excess inventory.
SAP IBP Control Tower provides real-time, cross-functional visibility across your entire supply chain. It enables proactive decision-making by consolidating data from multiple sources into a single, intuitive dashboard. With advanced alerting and root-cause analysis, businesses can quickly identify disruptions, assess their impact, and take corrective actions - before customers are affected. This solution is ideal for companies seeking to break down silos and gain full control over their supply chain performance.
Demand-driven replenishment in SAP IBP ensures materials are available where and when they’re needed by using real-time demand signals and dynamic buffer management. Instead of relying on traditional forecast-based planning, this approach focuses on actual consumption to trigger replenishment. Strategic decoupling points are defined to protect material flow from variability, while buffers are continuously adjusted based on demand volatility, lead times, and supply reliability. This method reduces the bullwhip effect, minimizes stockouts and excess inventory, and improves service levels by aligning supply more closely with real market demand.
