Case Study: Perfetti Van Melle Italy reduces forecast errors and waste with BearingPoint and Anaplan

Perfetti Van Melle Italy cuts forecast errors to 0.3% with BearingPoint

Perfetti Van Melle Italy, a major confectionery producer, faced challenges with inaccurate financial forecasts due to fragmented data and manual processes. These inaccuracies, with error margins up to 3.6%, led to excess inventory, product obsolescence, and increased waste. Partnering with vendor BearingPoint, the company sought to improve its planning on the Anaplan platform to achieve greater efficiency and sustainability.

BearingPoint redesigned the financial planning model, simplifying logic and creating a shared data foundation. The solution delivered a 63.5% reduction in write-offs and dramatically improved forecast accuracy, cutting errors from 3.6% to 0.3%. Planning cycle times were reduced by 40%, freeing resources for strategic analysis. BearingPoint's work enabled more efficient use of financial resources and significantly reduced waste across the value chain.
