Anaplan's mission is to make all planning for all people a reality. They believe our world is better when we connect communities of people with data to enhance decision-making in dynamic environments.
Anaplan provides cloud-based planning software across various use cases. The Anaplan platform replaces the patchwork of outdated tools (from the likes of Oracle, SAP and IBM) that don’t interact well with each other, and does away with the manual planning processes that are often overly complex, inefficient and costly.
The Anaplan platform can handle high volumes of data processed in real-time. The company’s modeling engine - based on proprietary Hyperblock technology - enables thousands of concurrent users to all access a centralized data pool. The technology lets users create detailed planning models that incorporate data down to the transaction level (across stores, employees and product SKUs) to improve decision making. While legacy planning solutions tend to be focused solely on the finance department, Anaplan’s platform enables collaborative planning across all areas. The company generates about 40% of its business from outside of core finance use cases.
There are multiple ways for the Anaplan platform to be used throughout any organisation - ranging from budgeting and forecasting to modelling and pricing optimisation. Planning tools can be put to work to gauge sales performance, handle departmental budgets, manage marketing spending, improve inventory management, and deal with IT project budgeting.
Anaplan has over 175 partners and more than 1,700 customers worldwide, and was acquired by Thomas Bravo in 2022, reconfirming its position as a leader in connected planning. Despite its solid position, the company was not immune to layoffs in 2023 due to the economic slowdown.
