Established in 1952 and online since 1999, Childrensalon is a fast-growing, award-winning, forward-thinking retailer, who wanted to upgrade its financial forecasting and data processing systems.
Childrensalon is one of the world’s leading online retailers when it comes to luxury designer children’s merchandise. Registered in England and Wales, it specialises in selling high-end items from prestigious fashion lines likes Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, and Fendi as well as several up-and-coming brands. So, when Childrensalon wanted to upgrade its financial forecasting and data processing systems it seemed only natural that it would want to go with Anaplan, a business solution that is considered among the best in the digital space.
Sue Burnell, Finance Director at Childrensalon, said “Anaplan allows the finance team to remove much of the manual processing that is currently required to report the results and prepare forecasts.” Sue said that she and her team immediately recognised the value of automating and optimising their financial processes with Anaplan.
“It’s giving us back time,” she said, “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.”
Childrensalon boasts a venerable 70-year history and has experienced continuous growth over the years. The long-established British heritage brand ships to customers in 160 countries and is renowned for its exceptional customer service. Now, empowered with Anaplan, it is able to continuously adapt to industry change, enhance business operations, and reinvent value creation in order to remain continuously competitive in today’s digital global economy.
