The chemicals and pharmaceuticals sector is characterized by high regulatory and technological intensity. Long cycles, demand variability and margin pressure complicate day-to-day management. Teams must anticipate global demand, manage large product portfolios and coordinate multi-country sites, while complying with strict quality and safety standards.
Traditionally, planning relies on spreadsheets or siloed tools, making collaboration between Finance, Supply Chain, R&D and Industrial Management difficult. Decisions are often made too late, based on partial data, and lack traceability.
Anaplan changes the game by delivering an integrated cloud-based model capable of connecting key functions. Finance teams can build reliable forecasts aligned with operational constraints. Supply Chain teams better anticipate demand, reduce stockouts and optimize multi-echelon inventory. R&D teams track budgets and projects in line with the overall strategy.
With Beyond Plans, support goes beyond technical deployment. Our consultants bring industry-specific expertise in chemicals and pharmaceuticals, build models tailored to industrial flows, and define relevant KPIs (forecast accuracy, OTIF, quality costs, working capital). And thanks to the Lemon Learning software solution, we ensure fast and sustainable user adoption.
The result: connected, transparent and agile planning that strengthens the sector’s ability to adapt to demand fluctuations, regulatory changes and competitive pressure.
