38 Bedford Consulting Testimonials

“Nurture days provide an invaluable touchpoint to a team of experts to help steer our Anaplan journey to the right place.”

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

“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."

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Previously a lot of the budget was performed in Excel and was more simple accounting. One had to know much more about finances. It was a copy-and-paste system of volumes, sales, etc."

“With Anaplan, our planning process has become more uniform. Everything is connected, and it’s more driver based. That’s a big win.”

“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.”

“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.”

"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.”

“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 recently partnered with Bedford to migrate a number of our dashboards to The UX. Bedford made this process seamless, easily digestible and the end result is something the whole team is very pleased with. We now have more visually appealing dashboards that are easier to navigate, enabling us to engage with senior management more effectively.”

“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.”
