SAP can do more
than you think.
GIB is the advanced supply chain planning suite that runs natively inside SAP (S/4 or ECC). Ditch the spreadsheets and disparate systems. Bring the end-to-end supply chain into SAP with intuitive tools.
Where SAP planning
breaks down.
Manual buyer workarounds
Your team overrides MRP constantly because the system does not understand your real constraints.
Inventory imbalance
Too much of the wrong stock, not enough of what you need. Safety stock feels like guesswork.
Demand surprises
Forecasts miss. The supply chain scrambles. Promotions and seasonality are handled in spreadsheets.
Production scheduling chaos
Capacity planning is disconnected from demand. Schedule changes cascade into firefighting.
Procurement without visibility
Buyers toggle between dozens of SAP transactions to do what should be a unified workflow.
Extend SAP with
advanced planning tools.
GIB is a certified SAP add-in, not a separate system. It extends your existing SAP environment with advanced planning across four supply chain domains. No new platform, data migration, or integrations.

Demand Forecasting & Planning
GIB DCF replaces static MRP forecasts with model-driven demand planning: 20+ statistical models, collaborative workflows, and scenario simulation, all inside SAP.
- 20+ statistical forecasting models, with automatic best-fit selection per SKU
- Collaborative planning with version control and approval workflows
- Promotion and event planning to model the impact before it happens
- Scenario simulation to compare multiple demand futures
- Consensus demand process connecting sales, finance, and operations
From gut feel to statistical precision.
20+ models. Auto fit selection. Collaborative review. All in SAP.
Inventory Classification & Optimization
GIB DCC classifies every item by demand behavior and value, then dynamically sets safety stock and reorder points based on real data, not estimates.
- ABC/XYZ classification by value and demand variability
- Dynamic safety stock that adjusts to service-level targets
- Inventory stratification with the right policies for the right items
- Dead-stock and excess identification to reduce carrying costs
- What-if simulation for inventory investment scenarios
The right stock, in the right place.
ABC/XYZ segmentation. Dynamic safety stock. Automatic reorder logic.
Production & Capacity Planning
GIB DCP connects demand signals to production capacity through visual drag-and-drop scheduling, rough-cut planning, and GIB FOX AI-driven optimization.
- Rough-cut capacity planning to validate demand against available capacity
- Visual drag-and-drop production scheduling board
- Finite scheduling with constraint-aware sequencing
- GIB FOX for AI-driven production planning optimization
- Direct integration with SAP orders and confirmations
Capacity-aware scheduling at scale.
Visual board. Finite scheduling. AI optimization via GIB FOX.
Procurement & MRP Execution
The GIB Execution Cockpit consolidates 50+ standard SAP procurement transactions into a single workspace for exception-based, mass-processing work.
- Unified Execution Cockpit with 50+ SAP transactions in one screen
- Exception-based workflow that surfaces only what requires buyer action
- Mass processing for routine procurement decisions
- Supplier collaboration and expediting workflows
- Documented outcome: 40+ hours saved per buyer per month
50+ transactions. One cockpit.
Exception-based. Mass processing.
Simpson Strong-Tie partnered with ITA to implement GIB across its North American manufacturing operations. The work improved supply chain visibility, reduced manual planning effort, and established a scalable demand-driven replenishment foundation.
