“Originally, we chose Anaplan to automate financial planning and analysis but over the past six months, we have expanded beyond finance.”

“Making changes to the plan or doing “what-if” analysis was a huge amount of manual effort for us before using Anaplan and by the time we had completed the analysis, the data was no longer up to date."

“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.”

“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 …

“We have also benefited from the use of the knowledge Exchange on Slack – the team is always responsive, and we get answers to our questions no matter what we throw at them.”

"We believe Anaplan’s flexible platform will help us standardise nimble performance management processes that not only support our teams but help us meet new opportunities as we continue to grow.”

“We now have deeper insights and can plan more collaboratively and strategically for the future – which has really improved how we work.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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."

"The duration of the project was from mid-June to mid-October – only 4 months to set up a budget process for an 10,000 employee company. The goal was to not only replace the existing budget tool which was slow, but also to introduce some workflows into the budgeting process which …

“It’s made it possible for our business controlling team to respond to business needs when they arise compared to when we needed 2-3 days of work in Excel.”

“Partnering with Anaplan and Bedford Consulting for our FP&A processes will support our continued growth at Lucid Group. Our processes will be streamlined enabling us to make agile decisions on business drivers with transparency into our data across finance and capacity plans.”

“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."
