Transforming S&OP with Anaplan and valantic
Redefining S&OP Excellence
Legacy Sales and Operations Planning processes built on spreadsheets and disconnected tools cannot keep pace with volatile demand, supply disruptions, and margin pressure. With Anaplan and valantic, Sales, Operations, Finance, and Supply Chain teams plan together in one connected platform, turning uncertainty into data driven decisions.
Elevate your S&OP Strategy with real-time, Connected Planning
Global supply chain shocks, changing customer behavior, and shorter product lifecycles have made traditional, monthly S&OP cycles too slow and too opaque. Organisations struggle with conflicting plans between sales, production, and procurement, leading to stockouts, excess inventory, and missed revenue.
Anaplan enables continuous, scenario driven Sales & Operations Planning by connecting demand, supply, capacity, and financials in real time.
valantic brings proven S&OP blueprints, industry expertise, and implementation experience to rapidly design and deploy a bestpractice process tailored to your business.
Typical S&OP challenges Anaplan and valantic address:
valantic is a leading implementation partner for S&OP initiatives across Europe, recognized for its deep planning expertise and proven track record in operations and supply chain organizations across multiple industries.
Working closely with respected clients such as On, Amann Girrbach and many more, valantic designs and delivers innovative S&OP solutions powered by Anaplan that connect demand, supply, inventory, and financials in a single platform, enabling companies to improve forecast reliability, optimize capacity and stock levels, and support more informed, strategic decision‑making.
Case Study
Amann Girrbach increases efficiency and performance of sales planning
Amann Girrbach had already engaged another consulting firm to set up a sales planning solution in Anaplan, however the results were unsatisfactory. Among other things, the performance of the calculations and forecasts was too slow, and the models incorporated did not correspond to proven best practices. valantic was called in, and, with its experienced Anaplan consultants, successfully turned the project around to meet Amann Girrbach’s needs.
