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

“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."

“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.”

“We chose Anaplan as it’s an open, flexible and configurable platform. This means that we can use it to create the solution that suite our current processes but also develop as we mature as an organisation.”

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

“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."

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

“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 compliant, so it feeds into both our forecasting and our supply chain models."

“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 are in a position to move to the more complex modelling and reporting areas.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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."
