Case Study: Iridium achieves faster, more accurate supply planning with Accelytics and Anaplan

Iridium cuts planning time and boosts forecast accuracy with Accelytics

Iridium, a provider of global satellite communications, faced challenges with its manual, Excel-based supply chain planning process. This disconnected approach created a tedious cycle, lacked automation, and led to data accuracy issues. To address this, Iridium partnered with vendor Accelytics to implement the Anaplan platform to automate and standardize its planning.

Accelytics implemented Anaplan to automate demand and supply planning, integrating statistical forecasting and special customer agreements into a single platform. This solution provided Iridium with a more accurate Master Production Schedule and real-time capacity views. The results included a dramatically reduced planning cycle time, increased forecast accuracy, and ensured data integrity through daily automation.
