Demand Planning
It’s hard to keep our
product hierarchies
aligned with alternate
organizations of the list.
We cannot plan at
SKU level.
Our channel strategy
is makes it hard to
determine where we
should send products
We cannot align our
demand plan with
promotion strategy or
new product launch
process.

World before Anaplan
Had an analytical labor demand project we needed to deploy across our numerous account locations
Hampered by disparate data kept at the local level at these various sites
Needed to pull together a solution quickly and deliver results in a few months
Solution needed to be easily understood by account teams
