Mark Cezar, CFO, Cebu Pacific: Cebu Pacific is the Philippines’ leading air carrier, serving over 25 million passengers annually to more than 60 destinations across 15 countries in Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
At Cebu Pacific, agility in planning isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. Anaplan gives us a dynamic platform to orchestrate our budget and business planning cycle with precision.
We now gain real-time visibility to cost drivers, whether it’s CapEx, maintenance, or fuel exposure. That early line of sight allows us to respond to risks and opportunities faster, course-correct mid-flight, and align spend with strategy. As a result, we’ve eliminated four weeks from our budget cycle — from five months to four — without compromising on rigor.
Since adopting Anaplan, our planning cycle has shortened, our forecasts have become more reliable, and our teams — from finance to fleet planning — collaborate on a single source of truth.
In an industry as dynamic as ours, every route, every aircraft, every peso spent must be justified. Anaplan helps us make those calls with confidence, especially when the stakes are high.
Anaplan is an investment. The more time and effort you invest in building into your core planning culture and systems, the more value it will deliver to you.
I’m Mark Cezar, CFO at Cebu Pacific, and we plan with Anaplan.
