Case Study: Cushman & Wakefield streamlines budgeting and forecasting with Accelytics and Anaplan

Cushman & Wakefield streamlines budgeting across 23 currencies with Accelytics

The customer, Cushman & Wakefield (CWK), a leading global real estate services firm, faced significant challenges with its budgeting and forecasting processes. These were managed across multiple Excel worksheets, leading to time-consuming manual aggregation, limited reporting, and an inability to compare budgets or run what-if scenarios. They enlisted vendor Accelytics to implement a solution using the Anaplan platform to overcome these obstacles.

Accelytics designed and implemented an Anaplan-based Budgeting and Forecasting model for CWK. The solution automated processes, provided real-time reporting, integrated with systems like Yardi for actuals comparison, and established a streamlined, role-based approval workflow. The results gave planners powerful tools for creating and comparing forecasts, established Anaplan as a single source of truth, and automated currency conversions, significantly enhancing the global planning capabilities for the real estate firm.
