“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."

“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.”

“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."

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

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

“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 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.”

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

“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.”
