AIMMS Data Connector For SAP IBP

Your SAP IBP Data, Ready for Strategic Decisions

Most companies using SAP IBP for planning still run network design as a separate, manual exercise.

The cost: weeks of data preparation, decisions made on outdated snapshots, and strategy that’s disconnected from operational reality.

AIMMS Data Connector streams your IBP data directly into our Network Design technology, so you can go from raw data to a ready-to-optimize base case in hours, not months.

Trusted by global teams to plan smarter, faster, and more often

AIMMS SC Navigator is a top choice for complex supply chains

Four reasons SAP IBP customers add AIMMS Network Design

Redesign structural challenges. Optimize service levels and costs. Stress-test the network against disruptions. Prepare for demand growth.

SAP IBP tells you how to run your current network. SC Navigator tells you whether that’s the right network to be running.

With data integration already in place, refreshing a model and rerunning scenarios takes hours, not a dedicated project.

When your scenarios are built from live IBP planning data — real demand, real costs, real constraints, your decisions hold up when execution begins.

Why mid-term planning breaks

From siloed decisions to one connected planning ecosystem

What changes with the connector
Why mid-term planning breaks

Your data lives in IBP. The strategic questions don’t get answered there.

  • Balance supply and demand across a fixed, given network
  • Plan operations and tactics for the next 0–24 months
  • Evaluate new facilities, M&A network mergers, or new product flows outside the planning environment, using separate data and tools
  • Network design happens as a one-off project — slow to start, disconnected from live planning data

From execution to strategy. One connected planning layer

With Network Design Technology connected
  • Explore what-if scenarios beyond the current network — new facilities, sourcing changes, M&A integration
  • Redesign locations, sourcing strategies, flows, and capacities using real IBP planning data
  • Evaluate trade-offs across cost, service, resilience, and sustainability before committing
  • A continuous decision loop. Operational insights trigger redesign analysis, and strategic decisions get validated against real planning data
How it works

From live IBP data to optimizable base case, in just three steps.

Retrieve data from IBP

Unified & harmonized data models

The connector pulls Master Data and Planning Data directly from SAP IBP via the standardized OData protocol.

No manual exports, no CSV wrangling. The connection is live and repeatable.

Map and transform

One-time setup

AIMMS data transformer maps your IBP data structures into SC Navigator format.

This mapping is a one-time configuration exercise. Once it’s set up, every subsequent data refresh is automatic.

Optimize

In hours, not weeks

Your data lands as a visual base case in SC Navigator.

Your actual network, populated with real data, ready to be scenario-tested and optimized. No reconstruction, no guesswork.
