How it works

Forecasting interface with large chart titled “Forecaster” showing historical volume in bars and three forecast lines (P1, P2, P3). On the left, a pop-up titled “Create a Forecast Action” includes fields for Forecast Action Name, Forecast Model, and Advanced Forecast Quantiles (Lower, Middle, Upper), with a button labeled “Create Action.”

Leverage historical data directly from your Anaplan model (ex: sales, demand, or workforce metrics) to enhance accuracy with external inputs such as weather, inflation, or market trends.

Use Anaplan Forecaster with pre-integrated ML models like Prophet, XGBoost, or DeepAR. It evaluates your data and applies the most suitable model automatically with no manual setup required.

Quickly understand what’s driving your forecasts with visual results, scenarios, and driver explanations — so you can validate and refine with confidence.

Once reviewed, forecasts can be seamlessly fed into downstream planning models. Use them to inform decisions across finance, sales, supply chain, and workforce — right within Anaplan. 

“With Anaplan we can create operational forecasts in just two and a half days, while also achieving a forecast accuracy rate of at least 95 percent three weeks in advance of when the security rosters are set.”
