Background
Our client is a global CPG company in the beauty industry. Modeling and planning for an enormous volume of products and markets across future years was overwhelming when handled in spreadsheets, especially when there were a myriad of files for each market. And these issues were only becoming more complex.
Challenge
Stitching together massive amounts of data received by multiple analysts quickly resulted in outdated data, inaccurate plans, and presented hurdles to analyzing and understanding price changes.
Approach
Leveraging a solution developed using the Anaplan platform, our client was able to provide users with access to competitive intelligence from multiple different sources, mapped and automatically refreshed. Intuitive data entry screens capture supplemental competitive intelligence and market data. Approval processes verify and validate prices during the planning cycle. Value-added reports provide transparency to collaboratively leverage the latest information.
