Anaplan is the leading connected planning platform, enabling enterprises to break down the silos between financial planning, supply chain planning, sales planning, and operational planning — creating a unified planning environment where changing one plan immediately updates dependent plans across the organisation.
PlanIQ, Anaplan's AI forecasting engine, applies ML to demand forecasting, revenue planning, and supply chain planning — automatically selecting and training the best forecasting algorithm for each planning signal from a library of ML and statistical models. Rather than planners manually selecting forecasting methods, PlanIQ evaluates many models and uses the one with the best historical performance.
Scenario planning allows testing multiple what-if scenarios simultaneously — 'what if raw material costs increase 15% and demand falls 10%?' — showing the financial and operational impact across all dependent plans instantly. The connected planning architecture means scenario changes propagate through supply, financial, and operational plans automatically.
Anaplan's hyperblock (Polaris) engine enables large-scale, high-dimensional planning models that traditional planning tools cannot support — modelling the entire business across all planning dimensions simultaneously rather than stitching together separate spreadsheet-based plans.
With customers including Johnson & Johnson, Salesforce, and General Mills, Anaplan validates across pharmaceuticals, technology, and consumer goods for complex enterprise planning.
Anaplan AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, mobile, and api.
The capabilities that matter most for teams evaluating Anaplan AI.
Automatically evaluates and selects optimal forecasting algorithms from statistical and ML models for each planning signal based on historical performance — replacing manual algorithm selection.
Changes to one plan (supply, sales, financial) automatically propagate through all dependent plans — eliminating manual reconciliation between separately managed planning silos.
Tests multiple what-if scenarios simultaneously across all connected plans — showing full financial and operational impact of business condition changes instantly.
