Here are some key features and capabilities related to dashboards and visualisations in Anaplan:
Forecasting: Anaplan allows for detailed and flexible forecasting including financial performance, sales, demand, and other key business metrics. Users can create forecasts based on historical data, current trends, and predictive models. Anaplan’s modelling and calculation engine can process large volumes of data quickly, which can facilitate real-time forecasting and decision-making.
Scenario analysis: Anaplan’s scenario analysis capabilities enable businesses to evaluate the potential impact of various scenarios on their plans. Users can build and compare multiple what-if scenarios and evaluate the potential impact of different assumptions or decisions. This is particularly useful in situations of uncertainty or volatility, where it’s vital to plan for multiple potential outcomes.
Collaborative planning: Multiple users can collaborate on the same forecasts and scenarios, allowing for a more holistic and aligned view of the future, including sales and operations planning, including marketing or pricing promotions.
Real-time updates: Anaplan’s platform is real-time, which means that forecasts and scenarios can be updated instantly as new data comes in or as conditions change. This allows for more accurate, up-to-date forecasts and scenarios.
Integration: Anaplan can integrate with other business systems to pull in the data needed for forecasting and scenario analysis. This makes it easier to generate accurate, data-driven forecasts and scenarios.
Anaplan’s scenario analysis can be applied across many areas of a business, from financial planning and budgeting to sales and operations planning, demand planning, supply chain management, trade promotions, workforce optimisation and more. Users can change variables in their models, immediately see the potential impacts, and then decide which course of action to take based on those outcomes.
