“With Anaplan, our planning process has become more uniform. Everything is connected, and it’s more driver based. That’s a big win.”

“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.”

“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 …

“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.”

“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."

“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 …
