38 Bedford Consulting Testimonials

“It is part an ongoing organisational change where we think about our business and work processes in a different way.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Our team currently spend 60% of their time planning in spreadsheets, utilising Anaplan for demand, supply, material and production planning will enable us to save a huge amount of time and allow for analysis of the data and more accurate planning.”

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

“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Anaplan has helped us gain consistency across all teams when range planning. Modules can be used by multiple users at the same time without slowing down the process – a big improvement from using shared Excel files. The Bedford team have been so helpful in adjusting the model to suit our changing needs.”

“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."

“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.”
