Solution Overview

You’re facing fragmented demand, supply and financial plans that do not align across sales, operations and finance. This leads to slow sales and operations planning cycles, manual reconciliations, limited scenario planning and delayed decisions that raise costs and risk. We help you activate integrated business planning fast with a configurable accelerator that connects sales and operations planning, demand planning, supply planning and financial planning in one governed flow. Backed by EPAM services, the accelerator speeds time to value, improves planning accuracy and strengthens execution.

The Integrated Business Planning (IBP) Accelerator provides a proven blueprint, data model and workflow templates to link strategic, tactical and operational planning. It supports demand shaping, supply response, inventory strategy and financial alignment, with role‑based views and executive dashboards. Prebuilt connectors, data pipelines and planning patterns reduce custom build effort while ensuring traceability, data quality and auditability.

Teams can run what‑if simulations, compare scenarios by service level, margin or revenue, then commit decisions with governance. Planners gain a unified calendar, stage gates and actions that move from demand consensus to supply commits to financial sign‑off. Leaders see a single source of truth for KPIs across forecast accuracy, bias, inventory turns and plan adherence.

The accelerator integrates with your existing stack and extends current investments, not replaces them. You can start with a narrow scope, then expand across products, regions and functions as maturity grows. EPAM brings product thinking, engineering rigor and change enablement so your organization adopts sustainable IBP capabilities that improve outcomes and reduce decision latency.

Customer Problem

  • Disconnected sales and operations planning, demand, supply and finance plans create conflicting targets

  • Manual spreadsheets, brittle handoffs and slow consensus cycles delay decisions

  • Limited scenario modeling hinders trade‑off analysis for service, cost and margin

  • Poor data lineage and governance reduce trust in forecasts and KPIs

  • Execution gaps from plan to operations increase expediting, stockouts and waste

EPAM Solution

  • Provides a configurable IBP accelerator that unifies demand, supply and financial planning workflows with a common data model and calendar

  • Delivers role‑based dashboards, governance and stage gates to speed consensus and raise decision quality

  • Enables scenario planning and what‑if simulations with clear assumptions, constraints and KPI comparisons
