Feed detailed trial balance data into LaunchPad and it will transform, validate and present it seamlessly into a detailed P&L variance report.

Utilise LaunchPad to cleanse, validate and report actual performance. Leverage in-built variance reporting to analyse performance to budget or forecast, drive future focused decision making and take action towards your most pressing priorities.

LaunchPad will also automatically update key model lists, prompt model admins to confirm new hierarchy items and to take action on other key admin tasks as they arise during each update cycle.

LaunchPad employs two design concepts we call cohort modelling and sequential consolidation to successfully consolidate your forecast data.

LaunchPad groups your forecast outputs into modelling cohorts. These are modelling outcomes who share common modelling dimensions and can therefore be naturally consolidated with no additional manipulation. Specific mapping tables move these cohorts through the consolidation model.

This approach ensures the route from record to report is clearly defined, short and robust. Error rates are reduced significantly and the admin burden almost eliminated.

LaunchPad contains a single default forecasting model.

Consisting of a fully dimensioned input module users will be able to enter forecast assumptions directly against all relevant reporting dimensions.

Acting as a placeholder, the default forecasting model is a blueprint for more detailed and nuanced development during the next phase of delivery.

The default forecasting model forms a clear and complete modelling pathway from input, to consolidation before mapping through into your P&L variance report.

Mapping modules facilitate the flow of data from record to report and the end to end process can act as a blueprint for subsequent forecast models and processes.

We believe every Anaplan for FP&A model should be equipped with scenario planning.

Our signature archiving model gives you access to robust and reliable scenario planning from day one.

Create, define and store as many scenarios as you need. Adjust assumptions, extrapolate trends and play with future outcomes to discover how you might react.

Then compare and contrast scenarios to learn how they interact and how various actions might impact outcomes.

LaunchPad includes a single P&L variance report.

While standardised in how it is developed there is scope to optimise the layout and format to match your existing P&L reporting.

Our approach to creating variance reporting in Anaplan retains the intuitive formatting and profile of the variance reports your are accustomed to.

Compare actuals with not only your budget and current forecast but with the various scenarios you have been developing.

LaunchPad comes equipped with a basic UX app that will allow you to fully interact and administer the signature foundation model.

The Anaplan UX provide users with a very intuitive and visually impressive user interface.
