38 Bedford Consulting Testimonials

“It became clear that our previous business planning processes in spreadsheets and legacy tools would not be sustainable to support our growth plans. Having experience of Anaplan at a previous company, we knew that it was the right platform to enable CatSci on its growth trajectory, whilst giving time back to the team to spend on value-add activities.”

“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.”

“We have monthly reporting of our actual figures, which is a large part of our existing capacity in the current system. And then there are our forecasts. Weekly forecasts provide a better overview of what is happening. This was not the case before Anaplan. And then, of course, we have the budget. We are also working on sustainability and a much better analysis package to produce our reports.”

“Bedford people are not just techies and not just talkers: they know when to roll up their sleeves and get the graft done. We consider ourselves lucky to have worked with Bedford and plan to do so for the foreseeable future.”

“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."

“We have been able to considerably reduce time spent on manual tasks and it has enabled us to spend more time analysing data.”

“Knowing the pain I previously went through to create a revenue forecast, to see that now in Anaplan and to build and run it in Anaplan and be able to answer a question from my CFO within an hour, as opposed to a couple of days work is incredible. It really does give you back the time to spend on other activities such as what-if analysis and adding value not just churning out data.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Anaplan had the dynamism, scalability, UX and new age approach that other systems did not."

“In today’s competitive business environment, technology can be the decisive factor between success and failure.”

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

“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.”

"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 would help to reduce the number of weeks used for budgeting. I can safely say that we achieved everything which was discussed in our initial kick-off meetings and were also able to add some extras which cropped up along the way aswell."
