What is Integrated Business Planning (IBP)?

Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is a strategic planning framework that aligns sales, operations, supply chain, and financial planning into a single process for better coordination and profitability.

IBP evolved from Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) in the 1980s, originally designed to balance supply and demand. Today, it integrates AI-driven forecasting, cloud-based platforms, and sustainability-focused planning with financial forecasting, strategic alignment, and scenario modeling, enhancing business agility and resilience.

IBP enables businesses to optimize inventory, improve efficiency, and enhance financial visibility, reducing costs and strengthening decision-making across the organization.
