Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We are an implementation partner of Anaplan. We help solve our clients forecasting issues by developing models using Anaplan. The common issues in the existing forecasting are due lack of agility and pressures on margins. Lack of agility is mainly driven by speed and flexibility of existing models (Excel). Anaplan reduces the time it takes to forecast and increases the flexibility to forecast and analyse at a greater depths. Anaplan also allows users to focus and explore at various levels to provide better insights on profitability.
