Anaplan PlanIQ

Anaplan PlanIQ is a forecasting add-on inside Anaplan, a connected planning platform used by FP&A, sales, and supply chain teams. Planners select a historical data set inside their existing Anaplan model, and PlanIQ applies machine-learning algorithms, including Prophet and DeepAR+-style time-series models alongside Anaplan's own statistical methods, to generate a forecast. A wizard-style interface shows which assumptions and drivers went into each forecast, so planners can see why a number came out the way it did rather than trusting an unexplained output. Anaplan supports single sign-on through SAML 2.0, role-based access control, and customer-managed encryption keys, and PlanIQ forecasts run inside the same governed model as the rest of a company's planning.

This fits a company already using Anaplan for budgeting or supply planning that wants statistical forecasting without exporting data to a separate tool. A reasonable starting point is applying PlanIQ to one forecast, such as demand or revenue for a single business line, and comparing its output against the team's existing method for a full cycle before rolling it out further. Anaplan does not publish pricing for PlanIQ or its core platform, so any figure you see elsewhere is a planning estimate; request a quote through your Anaplan account team. Two main risks: PlanIQ only adds value once your Anaplan model already has clean historical data to learn from, and Anaplan licensing is negotiated per contract, so costs vary widely between companies.
