Buy the platform when it fits. Build when your process is the product.

Planning and supply-chain suites are excellent when your operating model matches theirs. Custom wins when your edge is the process the platform cannot model without years of configuration debt.

Platform	Their shape	Ekalon	Buy them when
SAP IBP	Deep SAP planning, enterprise integration, licence + implementation weight.	Only the planning surfaces you need, wired to how you actually decide.	You are already all-in on SAP and need certified IBP depth.
Anaplan	Connected planning, model-builder culture, subscription by workspace size.	Owned models in your stack — no workspace tax as you grow.	Finance + ops already live in Anaplan and love the modelers.
Körber	Warehouse / supply-chain product depth for complex logistics networks.	Custom WMS/OMS slices when your floor flow is non-standard.	You need a proven WMS product with a large partner ecosystem.
