Very good if you need more and more structured insights in resellers inventory and sales.

One of the best parts is how it is suited to global or multi-site organizations with complex supply chains. It just operates across multiple regions with various manufacturing facilities, and that too with very much ease; it is simple, solid and very reliable in terms of working when the logistics is an issue and fetches data and insights very quickly.

Cons
  • Their ticketing system is creating too many emails in a hard to read way
  • Lately they become less flexible in accepting ways in which our channel partners can deliver their data to them.
  • Lately more mistakes and less close follow up when data from our resellers is incorrect or incomplete
Read full review
  • The system does not work as smoothly when processing large volumes of data. There are processing delays when we are busy planning.
  • Moreover, because inventory exceptions are not automatically alerted, employees have to check them manually, which takes extra time. Upgrades in these sections could raise our operational efficiency.

SAP Integrated Business Planning was easiest to implement versus MS Dynamics and Jira because it allows us to scale on-demand, always having in mind our business requirements and without sacrificing compute resources or increasing costs by adopting operating system licenses. This is the case with MS Dynamics 365. Jira, which was previously used for years, was transforming into a monster because it is difficult, heavy, and hard to use for all organizations. SAP Integrated Business Planning was an excellent choice for countering all the issues with other solutions in the market, although it increased our budget.
