SAP IBP SAP IBP: AI Visibility Report

sap.com ↗

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini about inventory planning, SAP IBP ranks #4 of 15, a Visibility Score of 19 in Inventory Planning .

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. The live-web grounded surface is rolling out across the index. Methodology.

How AI sees SAP IBP

One category, rank 6, fighting for scraps.

Where it wins. SAP IBP earns a 24% mention rate in Inventory Planning, meaning models surface it in roughly one in four relevant conversations. That foothold exists entirely within the 'Top tools in 2026' prompt theme, where list-style queries give it room to appear.

Where it loses. A 6.9% first-pick rate against 14 rivals means buyers see SAP IBP as a background option, not a front-runner, and it registers nothing in budget, startup, or best-overall framings, the queries where purchase intent is highest.
