For the first time, Anaplan has been named a Leader in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning Solutions.

\n

We believe this recognition validates the importance of Supply Chain Planning (SCP) tools as an investment area and validates Anaplan’s value proposition within an overall integrated business planning (IBP) strategy.

\n

Nothing has highlighted the need for a super-powered Supply Chain Planning tool like the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges that followed (and continue to persist) are evidence of the need for dynamic, comprehensive, and flexible solution.

\n

Several years ago, Gartner identified a shift in buyer behavior. This shift evolved from an approach of investing in best-of-breed solutions for functional SCP activities to evaluating a vendor’s ability to support a holistic SCP suite that provides support for integrated end-to-end planning. Anaplan recognized this shift and anticipated what it would mean to the marketplace.

\n

We understood businesses would outgrow their SCP technology (i.e., spreadsheets, internally developed tools, or an SCP application provided by a third party). As a result, they would look to invest in a product that could help them advance to higher levels of SCP maturity and scale as their planning needs evolve. Anaplan is that product.

\n

Anaplan’s SCP tools enable our customers to do amazing things. Here are just a few of the outcomes they have been able to realize:

\n
    \n
  • Drive alignment of all functions to an integrated plan delivering joint value across the planning horizon. This includes commercial, product, supply chain, and finance to support sales and business operations.
  • \n
  • Collaborate with finance by aligning both supply chain and finance plans. Finance plans will likely already include some data from marketing, product, sales, and more. Supply chain teams can then form plans to help support overall organizational goals focused on revenue and margins. Scenario planning and supply-demand balancing will help keep everything in sync; better ensuring operations continue the path to organizational success.
  • \n
  • Address sudden market shifts. Demand changes on a dime. By using flexible models, demand planning can be done via consensus and quickly applied for minimal negative impact.
  • \n
  • Plan with suppliers. The ability to have end-to-end visibility into stock levels and other risk points pay dividends. By collaborating with suppliers, IBP teams can anticipate “what if” scenarios and develop proactive plans to address issues if or when they appear.
  • \n
\n

In short, businesses using Anaplan’s cloud-based platform benefit from greater information consolidation and analysis, which results in significantly shortened aggregation periods, the ability to rapidly respond to supply chain challenges and the ability to plan more strategically.

\n

In the Magic Quadrant, Gartner positions vendors in four quadrants — Leaders, Challengers, Visionaries, and Niche Players.” Leaders demonstrate strong SCP solution vision and execution capabilities. They have broad, deep and differentiated functionality that addresses a broad range of user requirements. Their coverage across the main categories of planning capability — configure, optimize, respond and execution visibility — is good enough, with a good balance across the categories now and/or planned for the future.

\n

Leaders have a reasonable range of features to support a user’s maturity journey. Their visions for supporting a Level 5 maturity planning environment align well with Gartner vision. Leaders anticipate where customer demands and markets are moving and clearly identify how innovative technologies can be applied to planning applications. They have strategies to support these emerging requirements to build a future-proof SCP solution. Because leaders are typically well-established in leading-edge complex user environments, they benefit from a user community that helps them remain in the forefront of emerging needs and innovation.

\n

Leaders exhibit strong financial performance and viability of their SCP solutions. Leaders generally have good market penetration as well as broad functional penetration in their customers. Many customers have deployed a single instance of the software that is often supporting large planning models and high supply chain complexity. “

\n

In 2021, Anaplan was named as a Niche Player in the Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions.

anplan首次被评为2022年Gartner魔力象限™供应链规划解决方案的领导者。

我们相信,这种认可验证了供应链规划(SCP)工具作为投资领域的重要性,并验证了anplan在整体集成业务规划(IBP)战略中的价值主张。

没有什么比COVID-19大流行的爆发更能凸显对超级供应链规划工具的需求。随之而来的挑战(并将继续存在)证明需要动态、全面和灵活的解决方案。

几年前,Gartner发现了买家行为的转变。这种转变从投资于功能性SCP活动的最佳解决方案的方法演变为评估供应商支持整体SCP套件的能力,该套件为集成的端到端计划提供支持。anplan意识到了这一转变,并预测到了它对市场的影响。

我们理解商业将会超越他们的SCP技术(例如,电子表格,内部开发的工具,或者第三方提供的SCP应用程序)。因此,随着他们的计划需求的发展,他们会寻求投资于一个可以帮助他们提升到更高级别的SCP成熟度和规模的产品。anplan就是这种产品。

anplan的SCP工具使我们的客户能够做出令人惊叹的事情。以下是他们能够实现的一些结果:

  • 驱动对齐综合计划的所有功能,在规划范围内提供共同价值。这包括商业、产品、供应链和财务,以支持销售和业务运营。
  • 与财务部门合作通过调整供应链和财务计划。财务计划可能已经包含了一些来自市场、产品、销售等方面的数据。然后,供应链团队可以制定计划,以帮助支持专注于收入和利润的整体组织目标。情景规划和供需平衡将有助于保持一切同步;更好地确保业务继续走向组织成功之路。
  • 应对突如其来的市场变化。需求瞬息万变。通过使用灵活的模型,需求规划可以通过共识来完成,并迅速应用于最小的负面影响。
  • 与供应商一起计划。对股票水平和其他风险点拥有端到端可见性的能力带来了好处。通过与供应商合作,IBP团队可以预测“如果”的场景,并制定主动计划,以便在问题出现或出现时解决问题。

简而言之,使用anplan基于云的平台的企业可以从更多的信息整合和分析中获益,从而大大缩短聚合周期,能够快速响应供应链挑战,并能够更具战略性地进行规划。

在魔力象限中,Gartner将供应商分为四个象限:领导者、挑战者、远见者和利基玩家。”领导者表现出强大的SCP解决方案愿景和执行能力。它们具有广泛、深入和差异化的功能,可以满足广泛的用户需求。它们覆盖了规划能力的主要类别——配置、优化、响应和执行可见性——足够好,在现在和/或未来计划的类别之间保持了良好的平衡。

领导者有一系列合理的特性来支持用户的成熟之旅。他们支持5级成熟度规划环境的愿景与Gartner的愿景非常一致。领导者预测客户需求和市场的变化,并清楚地确定如何将创新技术应用于规划应用程序。他们有策略来支持这些新出现的需求,以构建一个经得起未来考验的SCP解决方案。因为领导者通常在领先的复杂用户环境中建立良好的声誉,所以他们受益于帮助他们保持在新兴需求和创新前沿的用户社区。

领导者表现出强大的财务业绩和SCP解决方案的可行性。领导者通常具有良好的市场渗透率以及在客户中广泛的功能渗透率。许多客户已经部署了软件的单个实例,该实例通常支持大型计划模型和高供应链复杂性。”

在2021年,anplan被评为供应链计划解决方案魔力象限的利基玩家。
