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

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.

Being named is not the same as being recommended. Each mention is graded endorsed (a strong pick), listed (a neutral option), or caveated (named with a reservation).
