FAQs
Integrated Business Planning (IBP) brings together strategic, operational, and financial planning into one process. It helps businesses align their demand forecasts, operational capacity, and economic goals, which cuts down on planning silos and makes them more flexible and able to make decisions.
Birlasoft uses SAP's digital and cloud innovations that work in memory to make IBP better by giving users real-time visibility, allowing them to work together, and making predictions more accurate. This method leads to better on-time delivery, better inventory management, faster product launches, and better alignment between operations and financial planning from start to finish.
It fixes broken planning systems and manual workflows by making it possible to:
- Unified planning for demand, supply, and money.
- What-if analysis helps you make decisions faster and based on different scenarios.
- One version of the truth for all departments to make them more accountable. These features help cut down on the time it takes to plan, make it easier for people from different departments to work together, and make decisions clearer.
Clients get:
- Better customer service because deliveries are more likely to be on time and complete.
- More productive plants and fewer bottlenecks.
- Better control of costs and inventory.
- Faster time to market for new products.
- Making sure that annual operating plans (AOP) are fully integrated with operations so that everyone can see how financial and quantity trade-offs affect the whole picture.
Birlasoft's IBP knowledge is especially useful for industries like manufacturing, life sciences, high-tech, utilities, energy and resources, and more. CXOs and other high-level executives in charge of strategy, finance, operations, and the supply chain can use IBP to create a strong, smart business that can adapt quickly to changes in the market.
