Case Study: Global Manufacturing Company improves forecasting accuracy with TekLink and Anaplan

Leveraging Anaplan to Increase Forecasting Accuracy and Profitability

Global Manufacturing Company is a leading global manufacturer in the manufacturing and logistics sector that needed a better way to generate a consensus demand forecast across Sales, Demand Planning, Finance, and Supply Chain. Working with TekLink, the company aimed to replace a manual and inaccurate forecasting process with a more collaborative, data-driven approach using Anaplan.

TekLink implemented an Anaplan forecasting solution that combined POS-based sell-thru forecasting, dependent sell-in/shipment forecasting, and consensus planning with automated data loads, KPI reporting, and statistical algorithms. The result was a highly automated 18-month rolling forecast process that improved data accuracy, enabled cross-functional collaboration, and gave the customer a better foundation for future forecast accuracy, time savings, and profitability.
