“We’ve estimated a 70% reduction in time spent target-setting. This has freed up our field sales managers to spend more time with their sales teams and their customers.”

“Working with Bedford, with its agile, sprint methodology, allowed us to meet our target and deliver budget and forecast on time. With new features, use cases and developments happening all the time, I can see us building on our partnership with both Anaplan and Bedford for years to come."

“Anaplan will revolutionise the way in which our demand forecasting operates, giving us total control over the levers to pull to support our customers and partners in delivering the best offering for consumers.”

“During the period of supermarket panic buying, we used Anaplan to help us walk the tightrope between maximising sales but not going out of stock. We used our forecasting model to accurately calculate and manage our stock levels at any given time.”

“We have a much more joined-up approach – we have confidence in the underlying basics (i.e. everyone is working off the same version, everyone is working under the same assumptions), the biggest change has been at a very basic level giving us the confidence in the underlying assumptions. Now we …

“Bedford as an implementation partner has been completely flexible to our needs, technically they understood our requirements and helped us deliver a product that is now key in our day-to-day planning and reporting.”

“We are excited to design our FP&A and stock planning processes in Anaplan with the support from Bedford Consulting’s expert team. We will be enabled to make better decisions through increased visibility and transparency into business drivers as well as giving time back across the team.”

“Based on our data, we understand what’s going on, and our forecasts tell us how the world will be in the future. We can now act smarter and faster.”

“As our customers continue to drive demand for the product, we recognised a need for a more robust and consolidated approach to our supply chain to ensure that the products arrive at stores in a timely manner. With Anaplan, we hope to stay even further ahead of the demand.”

“With growth like this comes a huge amount of change and diversity. As a result, we have accumulated a broad group of financial and accounting systems and it was clear that we needed a robust consolidation of these systems and an FP&A budgeting platform."

“It’s giving us back time which means my team can provide analysis rather than simply collating and aggregating numbers.”

“Several years ago, I attended a workshop where Anaplan invited different companies to try out their platform for the purpose of planning, reporting and analysis."
