Case Study: a leading e-commerce logistics provider achieves real-time FP&A and faster forecasts with Profit& and Anaplan

a leading e-commerce logistics provider cuts volume planning from 6 weeks to near real-time with Profit&

A leading e-commerce logistics provider faced significant challenges while scaling its international operations. Its Group Finance team struggled with a slow, spreadsheet-dependent process for monthly reporting and volume planning, which was prone to errors and required extensive reconciliation. The company partnered with Profit& to implement a solution using the Anaplan platform to create a central, standardized system for financial planning and analysis.

Profit& implemented Anaplan to automate consolidated group reporting and volume and revenue planning. This provided a single source of truth, eliminating manual reconciliations and enabling real-time forecasts. The solution reduced the planning cycle from six weeks to near real-time, giving the board better visibility and freeing finance teams to focus on strategic analysis. Profit&'s work has set the foundation for the client to expand connected planning across other business areas.
