Britvic Selects Anaplan to Support Improved Planning, Execution and Evaluation for Trade Investment and Customer Planning
Britvic selects the Anaplan platform for finance, sales, and operations to support planning and management of customer trade terms in Great Britain.
London, United Kingdom, May 29, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Britvic Soft Drinks, one of the leading soft drinks companies in Europe, with operations in Great Britain, Ireland and France, has selected Anaplan's integrated business planning and execution platform for finance, sales, and operations to support the way it plans and manages GB customer trade terms. Anaplan’s real-time modeling and calculation capabilities add a layer of improvement to Britvic’s trade planning process, ensuring greater alignment between Britvic’s commercial strategy and the trade agreements established with its customers.
“Periodically, we review the trade terms for customers in GB with a goal of determining what we want to achieve through these customers and the investment we can provide. These represent significant business plans and are the key means for executing our commercial strategy,” said David Butcher, Britvic’s Director, Customer Change. “Historically, we’ve done this through a sophisticated spreadsheet process that was rigid in terms of the instant ability to see alternative views on the data. With Anaplan we get an automatic, total view of our trade plans accounts across all customers.”
Anaplan’s cloud-based platform is built on a patented, in-memory HyperBlock™ calculation engine that delivers unparalleled immediacy, flexibility and scale. Anaplan’s intuitive user interface, integrated community and ease of adoption promote collaboration across sales, marketing, finance, IT, and other enterprise departments. Companies like Aviva, HP, Kimberly-Clark, McAfee, and Prudential use Anaplan to get better insights into operations, streamline their core processes, and enable faster decision-making.
“Our intuitive platform allows customers to plan and execute with increased agility and maximum performance, dramatically reducing the time taken for planning and forecasting processes, and boosting operational efficiency,” said Anaplan CEO Fred Laluyaux. “With the power of Anaplan, Britvic will be able to plan for and achieve goals for their trade terms in a new and powerful way.”
