  • More accurate planning of your business.
  • Real time monitoring of KPIs.
  • You can take data- based decision in real time.
  • The trial version is very limited, but it's a trial! But for the awareness of the platform, SAP could improve the free version.
  • SAP IBP has a lot of functions, but not all are easy to understand and put into practice. Maybe a better demo would be a plus for the awareness of all of them.

  • IBP provides the excel plugins as the main entry point for the users which, our users, are pretty familiar with and there is no special training that is required to be up and running with these templates
  • Better SSO options with Fiori OR IDP
  • Excel Performance especially when IBP plug-ins are running with other spreadsheets

  • Demand planning
  • Key constraint can be defined to perform the planning well
  • Seamless integration with S4 and legacy system for inbound and outbound of required data
  • Would like to run jobs from Excel views while working with scenarios, it's not possible currently
  • Predefined KPIs to measure supply chain performance could be added advantage

  • Comfortable database, it adjusts to what we know how to use.
  • The platform acts quickly, and throws metrics and analysis adjusted to the times we need, thus automating the results.
  • Complete and detailed reports, we can dynamically evaluate all the information.
  • The access is quite limited; it is only based on the cloud, which is fine because we know that the storage is wide and secure. However, it is not versatile, our work needs more flexibility of access from any device, and this is not a solution.
  • It took us time to get the hang of the platform and correctly understand the use of each function; better training would have made things easier for us at the time.
