cardfactory is the UK's leading omnichannel retailer for greeting cards, gifts, and celebration essentials. We've got an extensive and growing store estate of over 1,100 stores and over 10,500 employees.
We use Anaplan for financial consolidation, reporting, and planning and forecasting. We chose to implement Anaplan's solution as it provides a system-driven consolidation model which is scalable with the size of our group and provides flexibility for us in analyzing the data as well as the processes involved.
Some key benefits were the speed of deployment, the efficiency of the implementation, and flexibility in not requiring the entities across our group to be on a single ERP system.
What I like about the Anaplan Financial Consolidation solution is [that] it is a report-driven system that allows us to interpret our consolidated financial data in a number of different ways and design our own outputs in a flexible manner.
I'm proud of the learnings that our finance team have taken to be able to drive the solution forward and develop over time.
I'm Tom Rhodes, Head of Financial Reporting at cardfactory, and we consolidate with Anaplan.
