This Integrated Financial Planning App connects finance, operations, and demand planning teams around a single source of truth, linking demand, production, workforce, procurement, and energy planning across every plant or manufacturing site.
Built on the Anaplan digital planning platform, it enables end-to-end visibility from top-down targets to bottom-up plans, uniting controllers, planners, and operations managers in a single live model. By modelling production capacity, material recipes, labour efficiency, and commodity cost drivers in real time, manufacturers can quickly translate assumptions into an actionable P&L and shift from reactive variance reviews to proactive performance decisions — in the same meeting.
