Optimize inventory with SAP IBP Inventory Optimization.

July 1, 2026 | 11am (CET) | 60 minutes | English

SAP IBP Inventory Optimization (IO) enables organizations to systematically reduce inventory while improving service levels by replacing manual safety stock logic with data‑driven, multi‑echelon optimization. By leveraging existing SAP IBP planning data, companies gain transparent, service‑level‑driven inventory targets across the entire supply network. The result is measurable working‑capital reduction, higher supply reliability, and better‑informed planning decisions – without disrupting the existing IBP setup.

Join this webinar to learn when SAP IBP IO makes sense, what business value to expect, and how to get started quickly and pragmatically.
