MIAMI, July 8, 2026 — Anaplan, a leading AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform that serves as the decision infrastructure for the Agentic Enterprise, today announced it has been named the overall leader and recognized as an “Exemplary” provider in the 2026 ISG Buyers Guides™ for supply chain planning, sales and operations planning, and retail supply chain planning.

Supply chains run on thousands of interdependent decisions: a supplier delay that changes a production schedule, a demand spike that strains inventory, tariff shifts that reprice a sourcing strategy. Anaplan’s deterministic platform integrates real-time data from any enterprise source and combines probabilistic AI, planning workflows and role-based agents. This ensures operational leaders not only understand how a change in one part of the chain moves through the rest of it, but can also act on that change, with confidence, in real time. The acknowledgement by ISG for the second consecutive year reinforces Anaplan’s product leadership, deep domain expertise and continued commitment to AI-driven innovation for the office of the chief supply chain officer.

Supply chain planning has become a boardroom priority because every disruption has financial, operational and customer impact. What’s changed is that leaders no longer have time to wait for a quarterly re-plan when a port closes or a key supplier goes dark. Anaplan brings AI and advanced scenario modeling together, with the required business context, so teams can see what’s changing, understand the tradeoffs, and act — all within a single, unified platform.
