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

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

“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."

“It’s been great, we had a fairly new CO2 modelling team, working in Excel and they managed to prove the business case in Anaplan very quickly. Discussions can now be held at a Board level to determine how we can work best, and which cars we should build to remain …

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

“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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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."

“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.”

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

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

“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.”
