“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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."

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”
