SAP IPR Intelligent Product Recommendation
When AI assists with product recommendations, your sales become faster and more customer oriented.
The better sales representatives understand customer needs, the more accurate their product recommendations are - and the more deals they can close in the same amount of time. SAP IPR (Intelligent Product Recommendation) is a real game changer here, as it supports your sales team in asking specific questions about customer needs and workflows. Or it reads tender texts and interprets them. On this basis, it automatically creates relevant recommendations that are fed from (historical) sales data and their technical configurations. It also outputs delivery times, sustainability data and economic key figures (TCO parameters) for them – this is a powerful tool, especially for products with many variants and complex product ranges. The result: sales productivity increases, training costs fall, errors are minimized and customer satisfaction increases.
What data does SAP IPR deliver for you?
Firstly, product recommendations – with a confidence rating, by the way, which shows how suitable IPR considers the individual suggestions to be. It also lists information such as delivery times, CO2 footprints and TCO parameters. Overlaps between individual product features can be compared, making it easier to make decisions based on machine learning - supported by historical data from sales.

What makes SAP IPR so powerful?
Large Language Models
SAP IPR uses machine learning. When customers specify their requirements, machine learning provides intelligent and tailored suggestions based on historical sales data and the product/product configuration requirements. It also gives a "confidence score" that shows how certain the AI is that it has actually delivered the right suggestion. - An important feature for making the right decisions with confidence.
Generative AI
IPR and generative AI can understand, process and interpret inputs with continuous text and tender texts. On this basis, they determine what customers actually need and give the corresponding recommendations based on SAP data and AI knowledge. In practice, this is a big advantage because customers can use requirements instead of design information as a basis for inquiries.
SAP data is integrated
The flexible data model design enables the integration of features using classification data from SAP S/4HANA on-premise systems, private cloud or ECC, among others, and the use of data models for machine learning. Historical sales transaction data extracted from the above-mentioned systems can also be recorded and processed.
Perfect cooperation with SAP CPQ
When creating specific quotes, SAP IPR in conjunction with CPQ (Configure Price Quote) not only provides suitable product suggestions including configuration, but is also able to generate a price suggestion based on historical prices and typical condition agreements. This is helpful for price determination, which significantly speeds up the quotation and sales process.
SAP Sales Cloud and SAP IPR
Integrated directly into the SAP Sales Cloud, IPR facilitates the quick and convenient selection of suitable products and delivers budget quotes within minutes. This allows you to create more transparency for all project participants at an early stage of the sales cycle and prevent surprises at the end of the quarter.
