38 Bedford Consulting Testimonials

“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."

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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. With a strong focus on cash flow and product life cycle management, we want to link our planning processes tightly together to give us a more comprehensive picture of ongoing operations, enabling us to make strategic choices and quickly adapt to market changes.”

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

"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.”

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

“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.”

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

“Due to our exceptionally strong growth over the last few years, and our ambitious 5 year plan, we decided to proactively replace our spreadsheet based S&OP process, with the view of increasing automation, speed of decision making and reducing the potential for process errors. Anaplan stood out to me for its adaptability, both to fit existing processes but also its ability to evolve in order to meet future unforeseen demands.”

“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.”
