Stop Forecasting in the Dark. Start Aligning Strategy with Execution.
Sales & Operations Planning Isn’t Just a Process—It’s a Profit Driver.
Too many S&OP efforts run in circles—slow, siloed, and reactive. But when done right, S&OP becomes a core discipline for aligning strategy with real-world execution—and unlocking measurable business value.

Why S&OP/IBP Matters to Executives
When Sales & Operations Planning lacks clarity, cadence, or executive alignment, it quietly drags down margin, cash flow, and service levels. Forecasts miss. Operations overreact. Capital gets trapped in the wrong inventory, and strategy slips through the cracks.
Reveal helps executives turn S&OP into a strategic asset—not a tactical meeting—by activating SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and aligning people, process, and data around shared outcomes.
Common Business Challenges
S&OP underperformance is rarely a technology issue—it’s a systemic execution gap. We see it manifest in three common patterns:
- Disjointed Planning
S&OP becomes a retrospective justification exercise instead of a forward-looking decision engine. Plans are outdated before they’re presented—and never adopted. - Disconnected Tools & Data
Teams rely on disconnected spreadsheets, Power BI dashboards, and decks that paint partial pictures—leaving critical signals lost in translation. - Lack of Executive Engagement
When leaders don’t trust the data or process, they disengage. And without top-down commitment, cross-functional ownership disappears.
What We Solve
We help organizations escape the S&OP trap: the endless cycle of meetings, misalignment, and missed expectations.
Reveal fixes the root causes, not just the symptoms:
- Visibility gaps: We replace fragmented reporting with real-time, trusted SAP IBP data.
- Process breakdowns: We establish a rhythm that connects demand planning, capacity management, inventory positioning, and financial reconciliation.
- Behavioral inertia: We equip teams to think critically, challenge assumptions, and use SAP to inform—not just record—decisions.
Business Benefits Executives Can Expect
When S&OP becomes a core operating discipline powered by SAP IBP and Reveal’s oVo® methodology, executives can expect:
- Faster, more confident decisions
Accelerate strategic response with scenario planning, real-time simulations, and predictive analytics. - Improved service levels at lower cost
Better demand-supply alignment leads to fewer stockouts, less expediting, and smarter inventory positions. - Freed-up working capital
Eliminate overproduction and excess stock by planning to actual demand, not assumptions.
A $3B manufacturer transformed a passive S&OP cycle into a proactive planning engine—cutting inventory by 14% and planning prep time by 60% in just 9 months with SAP IBP and Reveal.
Reveal’s Approach: How It Works
Our proven oVo® methodology turns intent into adoption:
- Discover how and where profit is leaking across your current S&OP process.
- Educate your teams to trust the data, challenge assumptions, and think holistically.
- Adopt a new cadence of planning and decision-making—one that aligns execution with strategy.
- Sustain the gains with digital tools and performance assurance that keep momentum alive.
We don’t just implement IBP—we make it stick.
Why SAP—and Why Reveal
SAP IBP offers a scalable, cloud-based platform for integrated planning—far more agile and accessible than legacy APS systems. But the technology alone isn’t enough.
Reveal helps organizations unlock the full value of IBP by closing the adoption gap. No reimplementation. No custom code. Just smarter use of what you already own—driven by behavior change, not software change.
