Case Study: SBB achieves real-time connected corporate planning with Anaplan and valantic

SBB cuts planning consolidation from 4 hours per person to minutes with Valantic

The customer is SBB (Swiss Federal Railways), a major public transport provider. They faced a complex and fragmented financial planning process involving numerous Excel files and manual consolidations, which lacked transparency, accuracy, and auditability. To address this, SBB partnered with vendor valantic to implement a new planning solution based on the Anaplan platform.

Working with valantic in a coaching model, SBB migrated its financial planning to Anaplan. This created a connected, cloud-based system that integrates partial plans in real time. The solution delivered significant results: the consolidation process was reduced from multiple person-days to a button-click, investment planning time was cut by 1.5 months, and about 100 planners gained simulation capabilities for proactive management. The collaboration with valantic made SBB's planning audit-compliant and far more efficient.
