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

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

“We are excited to move away from disconnected planning processes and design our demand, supply, and distribution planning processes in Anaplan with the support from Bedford Consulting’s expert team.

“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.”

“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."

“It’s giving us back time which means my team can provide analysis rather than simply collating and aggregating numbers.”

“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.”

“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.”
