SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain Features
Demand planning
Create accurate demand plans with the support of machine learning, statistical models, and collaborative input
Leverage better algorithms
Bring traditional time-series forecasting, regression models, and machine learning together to generate a more accurate forecast, without needing a data science degree to benefit from advanced algorithms.
Collaborate on and enhance forecasts
Increase forecast accuracy by adding your insights and market knowledge easily and coordinating among multiple groups in your company to ensure that all voices are heard, allowing sales, marketing, and demand planning to agree on the forecast. Generate new product forecasts, even when historical data is not available.
Understand ordering patterns to refine forecasts
Demand sensing enables the system to automatically adjust to order patterns and downstream demand signals, such as point-of-sale data, so the supply planning function can get the right product in place for anticipated orders.
