Anaplan’s Post

Roseburg Forest Products grows trees, processes them into a full spectrum of wood-based products, and delivers those goods. 🌳 Not long ago, visibility across the enterprise was cloudy for the finance team, and drafting a financial plan took months of legwork. To create a comprehensive view into its immense operations, vertically integrated Roseburg Forest Products created connected financial and supply chain planning capabilities in Anaplan. Now, Roseburg understands – and runs – its entire business better because all its parts are connected with Anaplan. #PlanwithAnaplan #SupplyChainPlanning #FinancePlanning #Manufacturing

Before we implemented Anaplan, it took two weeks to consolidate all the numbers in the company for top management. Having all data in a single system has cut that time by 90% and eliminated crosstalk and waiting. With Anaplan it takes two hours to consolidate and produce reports that give top management the visibility they require. With Anaplan we know that all parts of the business are connected, and we are really confident in our plans.” https://lnkd.in/dpD8FyYY

This is right way of using Anaplan

In response to the positive feedback and encouragement for the first blog, I'm pleased to announce that the second use-case in the Anaplan Use-Cases Series is now live. The use-case deals with managing a limited set of list items that are relevant to business planning at hand. https://lnkd.in/gWiEA_75 #anaplan #anaplancommunity #anaplanmodeling

Planning can be so much more than just pure financial planning In the last weeks I have come accross some really interesting use cases which all too often are overlooked but might help boost the companies success tremendously. Not for every single one of them there are solutions out there, but all of them have once been solved in Anaplan. And they can be as specific as: 1.) Given limited shelf space in a supermarket, which products should ideally be used for promotions including price elasticity and kick-backs? 2.) Given the possibility to buy or perform a service itself (logistics), should we outsource this one to our supplier? For which product? And for which should we do it ourselves given the constraint of our own warehouses and service levels? 3.) In Procurement; given the demand of our products, do we need to reassess some of our supplier contracts? 4.) If we give partners better insights into how well there products fair on a marketplace; how much more money will they be able to make and does it save us costs? What are some of the most interesting questions you have helped answering a customer on ideally Anaplan?

Calling all Retail Anaplan champions! 📢 Let's make our voices heard to bring about a key improvement. We need a disaggregation rule that allows us to edit a percentage, ratio, or price formatted line item at the parent level, ensuring all children below inherit the same value. Currently, only summable disaggregation works with breakback. While there is a workaround, a CONSTANT disaggregation would be far more intuitive. Check out the details and show your support with a thumbs up if you believe this enhancement is crucial! #Anaplan #MerchandisePlanning #RetailIndustry https://lnkd.in/gSREUQyN

Grant Edhouse, CFO, Techtronic Industries: “I wanted to put forecasting in the hands of the managers who led the functions, and push out reporting to the wider business. The biggest impact has been the change in mindset from having finance as a separate function to having that intimately connected with a much wider group through the Anaplan platform. Our end-of-month closing cycle used to take 10 days to complete, and this is now down to six. Knowing the work that’s gone into building the Anaplan models, gives me confidence that I can rely on the information that we use to make decisions.” https://lnkd.in/dxrRPQb6
