38 Bedford Consulting Testimonials

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

“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 are excited to design our FP&A and stock planning processes in Anaplan with the support from Bedford Consulting’s expert team. We will be enabled to make better decisions through increased visibility and transparency into business drivers as well as giving time back across the team.”

“As our customers continue to drive demand for the product, we recognised a need for a more robust and consolidated approach to our supply chain to ensure that the products arrive at stores in a timely manner. With Anaplan, we hope to stay even further ahead of the demand.”

“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.”

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

“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 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.”

“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.”

"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.”

“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."

“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.”

“It became clear that our previous business planning processes in spreadsheets and legacy tools would not be sustainable to support our growth plans. Having experience of Anaplan at a previous company, we knew that it was the right platform to enable CatSci on its growth trajectory, whilst giving time back to the team to spend on value-add activities.”

“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.”
