Large corporations and companies struggle with various problems. Managing business processes is not that simple. Enterprises often spend multi-million dollar budgets on management applications supporting their business lines (ERP, supply chain, HR, sales planning). The necessary programs must have a business intelligence layer (BI, Business Intelligence) or analytical tools that aggregate and organize business data into elegant dashboards and reports. Despite the nice "case", the reality is not so beautiful - very often managers and supervisors have to manually collect the necessary answers and data. So automation doesn't work. Anaplan is a company that offers hassle-free applications where such errors do not occur. They bring order to the company and facilitate strategy and operations. Incube CPM especially recommends the Connected Planning Platform tool.

Who will benefit from the Connected Planning Platform?
- HR department – optimization of staff and workforce
Conventional HR packages handle employees' everyday lives - working hours, benefits, payroll, etc. However, they are not always well-developed. The entrepreneur may not know whether he has an adequate labor force in case of changes. Anaplan helps build employee readiness by connecting HR, finance, business data, and external sources to plan and model various strategies and scenarios. - Supply Chain - Help from Hyperscale Optimizer
Anaplan's Hyperscale Optimizer provides comprehensive, real-time visibility. It is ideal for planning deliveries, so it is often used by purchasing department employees. It allows you to devise and analyze "what-if" scenarios to ensure accurate supply forecasts across the entire network. Avoid downtime, unsold inventory, and wasted investments. - Sales department
Plan demand and sales in your company. Anaplan provides visibility into all relevant internal and external factors. Efficiently meet demand and create more targeted sales incentives. Eliminating organizational silos results in better decision-making (taking into account internal and external factors from all functions and departments). - Department of Finance
Traditional financial planning is increasingly too slow, rigid, and fragmented for today's volatile business conditions. Anaplan helps you connect strategy and execution – this will result in faster response times. Combines financial and operational plans, e.g. capital expenditure, and facility plans. With its presence, department employees can handle a wide range of financial functions, e.g. budgets, forecasts, analyses, profitability and price optimization, and automatic cost management.
