The challenge

As companies move to digital channels, fast decision-making has become essential. E-commerce customers make purchasing decisions quickly, and businesses need to keep up. Danny explained, “A lot of consumers are moving to digital channels, and e-commerce consumers decide fast. For this to happen, we, as a company, have to manage faster.” His organisation faced the challenge of making timely, data-driven decisions to remain competitive. Their existing information management tools were insufficient, limiting their ability to make fast, accurate decisions. They needed a solution that could provide real-time data, support multiple business functions like supply chain, finance, and IT, and adapt to a rapidly evolving market.

The solution

The company explored various tools and ultimately chose Anaplan, a flexible, cloud-based solution that could adapt to their diverse needs. They also needed a partner to help implement and optimize Anaplan’s capabilities. That’s when they turned to VISEO/Scanomi.
“We were looking for many tools across the world, and we started to work with Anaplan because it was flexible to support our needs,” Danny said. VISEO/Scanomi played a critical role in ensuring that the implementation met the company’s expectations. Danny highlighted, “VISEO/Scanomi has amazing experience in managing the client—first of all, listening to the client’s needs—and coming up with innovative ideas to support those needs.”

The partnership brought forward solutions that supported real-time decision-making across various business functions, from supply chain to analytics, with a focus on delivering fast, actionable insights.

Achievement unveiled

The collaboration between the FMCG company, Anaplan, and VISEO/Scanomi resulted in significant achievements. The flexibility and innovation that Anaplan brought to the table allowed the company to dramatically reduce the time taken to implement complex projects.
“If you can take a big project, which previous years took several months or years to implement, we can now do it in a month or two,” Danny said. This acceleration enabled the company to stay agile in a competitive environment, improving their ability to respond to market changes faster than ever before.

The outcome

Thanks to the successful implementation of Anaplan with the guidance of VISEO/Scanomi, the FMCG company has improved its ability to make fast, data-driven decisions, supporting the organization’s leadership with superior information management and analytics tools. Danny summarized the key to their success: “We need tools which deliver what we need as information analytics in a fast way. To implement these tools, we need a flexible team who understands our needs and who has innovative ideas to bring this information to life efficiently.”

The outcome of this partnership has been a faster decision-making process, better alignment of the company’s goals across departments, and ultimately, sustained profitable growth. “VISEO/Scanomi played a significant role in ensuring we had a quick solution and a quick win,” Danny concluded.
