Anaplan helped CPG companies transform their trade promotion planning by uniting trade, demand, and finance into one flexible, collaborative platform that scales globally. The software used transparent, tunable AI/ML to power real‑time “what‑if” scenarios, giving instant insights into margin and demand so teams could test and refine promotions without manual modelling. By integrating seamlessly with ERP, demand planning, and IBP systems, Anaplan freed business users from rigid workflows and IT dependency, enabling faster, data‑driven decisions. This allowed CPGs to optimise promotional spend, protect profitability, and respond more quickly to competition, market uncertainty, and shifting consumer behaviour.
