What makes Bedford different from other Anaplan partners?
Scale and focus matter when you’re choosing an Anaplan partner.
Bedford has been recognised as Anaplan EMEA Partner of the Year for eleven consecutive years, making us one of the most consistently awarded partners in the Anaplan ecosystem. But awards tell only part of the story.
As the largest Anaplan-dedicated partner globally, we’ve helped organisations solve planning challenges across finance, supply chain, sales, workforce, operations, and beyond. With experience spanning 700+ use cases across more than 550 customers, we’ve seen first-hand how planning requirements evolve, where common pitfalls emerge, and what separates successful platforms from those that struggle to deliver long-term value.
That breadth of experience gives our customers access to proven approaches, practical insight, and lessons learned from hundreds of planning transformations. Whether the challenge is improving forecasting accuracy, increasing user adoption, scaling a platform, or preparing for future technologies such as AI, chances are we’ve encountered a similar challenge before.
Just as important is our focus. Unlike larger consultancies that spread their attention across dozens of technologies and service lines, Bedford is dedicated to Anaplan. Planning is not one of many offerings. It’s what we do.
That single-platform focus means our consultants, architects, model builders, and managed service teams spend every day helping organisations maximise value from Anaplan. The result is deeper expertise, stronger best-practice knowledge, and a better understanding of how to drive business outcomes through connected planning.
Ultimately, customers don’t choose Bedford because we’re the biggest. They choose Bedford because our scale gives us experience, our focus gives us expertise, and together they help organisations get more value from their Anaplan investment.
The numbers provide proof: 11 consecutive Partner of the Year awards, 700+ use cases, 550+ customers, and 95% customer satisfaction. The real value is what sits behind them: a team that understands planning inside and out and knows how to help organisations see what others can’t.
