Behind the numbers

Financial transformation succeeds when the right timing, technology, and collaboration come together. That’s exactly what happened in the partnership between cpmview and one of the Netherlands’ leading fashion brands. 

We recently completed the first phase of their consolidation journey: moving from SAP BPC to Anaplan FCR, a modern SaaS platform that supports streamlined consolidation and reporting. This shift marks an important step toward a more agile and future‑ready finance landscape. 

From the start, the partnership was characterised by trust, clear communication, and a shared drive to modernise the consolidation process.

Review from our client:

“The cpmview consultants were highly responsive and collaborative, especially during critical phases such as data migration, model validation, and the transition from SAP BPC to Anaplan. They provided valuable insights during workshops, helped resolve technical discrepancies efficiently, and ensured that deliverables were aligned with our expectations and timelines. The engagement was also well-structured. Overall, we consider this a very successful and pleasant collaboration, and we truly appreciated their dedication and support.”

Smart Migration, Strong Collaboration

Our cpmview team was asked to deliver a modern, unified, and connected financial reporting platform: one that provides clear insights, supports confident decision‑making, and reduces time spent on reporting activities. 

The transition was more than a technical replacement. It marked a deliberate step toward a more scalable and agile financial landscape. By moving from SAP BPC to Anaplan FCR, the client addressed the upcoming end‑of‑life of SAP BPC while introducing a platform designed for flexibility, transparency, and continuous improvement. 

With Anaplan now fully operational, the client is already experiencing concrete benefits: 

  • Streamlined consolidation processes 
  • Faster month‑end closing cycles 
  • Fewer manual tasks and less reconciliation effort 
  • Improved data import workflows powered by Datablend 
  • Built‑in equity pick‑up handling within Anaplan 

These improvements strengthen both operational efficiency and strategic capabilities. They give the finance organisation more room to grow, adapt, and deliver timely insights. Because the true success of a transformation project is shaped not only by systems and technology, but by the dedication and collaboration of the people behind them.

“The cooperation with cpmview has been excellent throughout the project. From the initial vendor selection and advisory phase to the implementation of Anaplan for consolidation and reporting, their team consistently demonstrated professionalism, deep subject-matter expertise, and a proactive mindset.”
