“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."

“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 …

“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.”

“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."

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