Going ‘Wild’ for planning: Sustainable personal hygiene products manufacturer partners with Anaplan & Bedford Consulting for retail sales planning

Anaplan stood out to Wild for its ability to handle the sheer volume of data and variables, connect planning processes, and remove multiple spreadsheets, enabling accurate modelling and forecasting. Anaplan’s trusted partner, Bedford Consulting, supports the implementation.

Lauren Mullany, Head of Retail at Wild, shared her excitement about the partnership, stating: “By partnering with Anaplan & Bedford, we are confident that we will improve forecast accuracy to 95%, reduce the time we spend on planning, and make faster, more accurate decisions by having actuals, trade promotions and demand data connected to our financial plans.”

“Wild has been going from strength to strength since its founding just four years ago, and we’re thrilled they’ve decided to plan with Anaplan to drive strategic decision-making. Undoubtedly, working with the talented team at Bedford to develop an expert approach to planning and forecasting will fuel the next phase of Wild’s hypergrowth”, said Dayne Turbitt, Managing Director EMEA at Anaplan.

Wild will implement a robust planning tool that meets its needs and enables it to achieve growth, positioning itself for future success with greater visibility and control over financials and operations.
