Case Study: a FTSE 100 paper-based packaging leader achieves faster forecasting and scenario planning with Profit& and Anaplan

a FTSE 100 paper-based packaging company cuts quarterly forecasting from weeks to days with Profit&

A FTSE 100 world leader in paper-based packaging faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-driven quarterly forecasting process. Collecting data from 37 UK plants was time-consuming and prone to error, making it difficult to consolidate information and trust the data for scenario planning. The company engaged Profit& to implement the Anaplan platform to replace this unsustainable system.

Profit& delivered an Anaplan solution in just eight weeks, automating data loading from the ERP system and introducing a standardized forecasting workflow. This reduced the quarterly forecast process from several weeks to just a few days. Profit&'s implementation provided a single source of reliable data, enabling better customer profitability management and more effective collaboration, with plans to expand the model to other business areas.
