Foodbuy, the procurement arm of food service provider Compass Group Australia, collaborates with hundreds of suppliers to deliver millions of meals each year. As supply chain and financial data about suppliers and products grew, gathering key performance data, and then sharing and visualizing that data, became more complex. But with Anaplan as a common data source, information-sharing has become more automated and routine processes have accelerated.
Sandra Korres: Foodbuy is a procurement organization that supports Compass Group Australia. Compass Group is Australia's largest food service organization.
Andrew Brightmore: Our role is to make sure we provide the very best food at the highest standards of safety and nutrition to all people across the country.
Sandra: I feel that Anaplan has transformed our Foodbuy business. Previously work was all managed through databases and spreadsheets. It never reconciled to Compass Group and our ability to be able to interrogate it and understand what that information meant once it was sent was almost impossible. Now we can turn that around within days instead of months, and our accounting for those KPIs is monthly instead of six-monthly.
Andrew: My favorite thing about Anaplan is how easily it integrates into all of these sources of data across our business. It’s part of a technology ecosystem, it’s a connector.
Sandra: My favorite thing about Anaplan is that it’s fast. By being able to push information and data into the Compass Group models so that we can all plan effectively, all at once.
Andrew: Anaplan helps us bring this all together and have one central point, one central repository where people can go, see, understand, and take action quickly and efficiently.
Sandra: My name is Sandra Korres and I’m the GM Finance and Analytics for Foodbuy at Compass Group.
Andrew: I’m Andrew Brightmore. I'm the Executive Director for Foodbuy in Australia, part of Compass Group Australia.
Both: And we plan with Anaplan.
