Buyer’s kit for manufacturing leaders

If you’re a leader in the manufacturing industry searching for the best planning tool for your organisation, you’ve come to the right place.

The modern consumer expects speedy, on-time delivery, easy omnichannel fulfilment, and a smooth return process. The company that fulfils those desires is likely to earn repeat business, and vice versa. And more loyal customers lead to better business performance.

So, at a time of constantly changing consumer demand, ongoing business disruptions and increasingly volatile raw material prices, connected planning is rapidly becoming a must-have capability. Additionally, supply chain issues have a direct effect on business performance. When the supply chain suffers, the bottom line suffers.

We have helped thousands of buyers from the manufacturing industry answer the common questions that people have when investing in a planning tool for their organisation.

This Buyer’s Kit has been designed to help you make an informed purchasing decision as well as guide you through the selection process for a planning tool.

What is included in your kit:

A software checklist to help you explore specific key features of Anaplan to support your organisation’s growth.

Product sheet(s)
FP&A checklist to evaluate Anaplan against other vendors to make an informed choice

“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.”

Daniel Plimmer, Supply Chain Director, Huel

“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. You need to give yourself space to plan and that’s what Anaplan does.”

Matthew Shoard, Financial Controller, Casella Famiy Brands

“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, Head of Planning, Lintbells

“In an ever-changing economic environment, our traditional planning methods were not viable. To support our success and sustainability we need an agile approach to reforecasting based on a wide range of factors that affect the business.”

Karen Whitren, Retail Financial Controller, Mole Valley Farmers

“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.”
