“With growth comes the need for a huge internal change, 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.”

Andy Proud, Tofoo

“The situation the world is in, has increases the need to quickly make changes and to see the potential effects of the operational decisions. We use Anaplan for scenario planning, and stress testing our plans and forecasts. This gives us valuable information that we use to create contingency plans for different potential outcomes.”

Bjørn Unnerud, CFO, Voice Norge AS

“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 our changing needs.”

Helen Crebbin, Go Outdoors

“The recent business disruptions have proved our ability to plan. Instead of spending 90% of our time crunching the numbers and 10 % running around in a panic, deciding what to do. We could spend 90% of our time action planning and communicating.”

Matthew Shoard, Casella Family Brands

“Anaplan allows the finance team to remove much of the manual processing that is currently required to report the results and prepare forecasts. “It’s giving us back time, which means my team can provide analysis rather than simply collating and aggregating numbers. With Anaplan’s capacity to deal with large amounts of data from different sources, we can create customised reports to provide valuable insights into our various lines of business.”

Sue Burnell, Childrensalon

“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.”

Michael Collins, Lintbells
