Anaplan Recognized in POI 2026 Consumer Goods Retail Execution and Enterprise Planning Vendor Panorama

MIAMI, Sept. 29, 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 recognized in the Promotion Optimization Institute's (POI) 2026 Consumer Goods Retail Execution and Enterprise Planning Vendor Panorama. POI recognized Anaplan with Best-in-Class distinctions for Annual Operating Plan (AOP) and Enterprise Planning IBP / S&OP. The report highlights Anaplan's ability to connect trade promotion, revenue growth, supply chain and financial planning on a single, unified platform.

In a complex, fast-moving market, where predictable growth is more challenging than ever, consumer goods companies cannot afford to plan promotions in isolation. An unanticipated change in demand or unplanned shift in the market can impact inventory, production and supply chain capacity, as well as financial forecasts, quickly draining margin. Yet, these decisions are often made in a vacuum, across siloed teams and systems lacking a common data set and assumptions.

Anaplan helps consumer goods companies account for those dependencies, connecting commercial decisions with the operational capacity and real-time decision infrastructure needed to execute them dynamically. With a shared view across the business, teams can simulate and evaluate multiple scenarios to understand impact, and leverage AI-driven insights to quickly and effectively adapt and optimize plans as conditions change.

The report identified that: "Anaplan's defining differentiator is one platform and one data model: trade promotion management (TPM), revenue growth management (RGM), integrated business planning (IBP), demand, supply, finance, and consolidation are connected models on a single in-memory engine rather than separate applications."

The recognition builds on Anaplan's work with leading consumer goods companies, including Coca-Cola, Del Monte, ABInBev, On and Unilever, which use Anaplan to connect critical processes, solve high-value planning challenges, and make faster, more informed decisions across their businesses.

POI provides research and advisory services to the consumer goods industry, with its annual Vendor Panorama assessing technology providers across retail execution and enterprise planning.
