Anaplan reveals extended AI portfolio roadmap and launches four new applications to usher in the next era of planning productivity

Full stack AI strategy embeds predictive, generative, and agentic AI across the entire platform and suite of applications to help enterprises navigate uncertainty with speed and confidence.

Miami, FL - May 13, 2025,  In today’s unpredictable business environment, where global tariffs shift overnight, supply chains remain fragile, and demand signals are in constant flux, precision and velocity in enterprise planning are more important than ever. To lead through uncertainty, enterprises need to make better decisions faster and with confidence.

Today, Anaplan is introducing a new standard of AI innovation designed to help enterprises drive lower costs, improved margins and increased output and growth. With a major expansion of Anaplan Intelligence — the AI layers that power planning across the platform — and a new suite of planning applications, the company is helping enterprises move from reactive triaging to proactive decision-making across finance, supply chain, and go-to-market operations. 

The launch represents a leap forward in delivering on Anaplan’s $500 million multi-year innovation investment and reflects the company’s fundamental belief that AI should be engineered for real-world complexity and designed to usher in a new era of planning productivity.

“We’ve reached a turning point where the ability to plan and pivot in real-time isn’t just a strategic advantage, it’s an organizational survival skill,” said Charlie Gottdiener, CEO of Anaplan. “Anaplan Intelligence is AI that’s built into the heart of the platform, grounded in years of enterprise experience, and focused on delivering outcomes that matter — replacement of inefficient labor, improved employee productivity, and avoidance of human bias in decision-making.” 

The right AI at the right time: predictive, generative, and agentic working together

While other vendors have rushed to attach their AI story to the trend of the moment, Anaplan has taken a different approach, relying on foundational AI expertise and deep experience in activating massive datasets required for complex planning. The company is building AI into every layer of its platform with a goal of enhancing the speed, clarity, and quality of decision-making. 

The expanding Anaplan Intelligence portfolio combines three core forms of AI, each addressing distinct planning challenges:

• Predictive AI provides precise forecasts and optimization of outcomes, helping businesses anticipate what’s next, and plan accordingly. Core embedded capabilities include Anaplan PlanIQ, a best-in-class statistical time series forecasting product, and Anaplan Optimizer, a linear programming tool designed to identify the best outcomes for complex planning problems. 
  

• Generative AI, through Anaplan CoPlanner, gives users conversational access to generated insights across their models, with guided recommendations that simplify decision-making. As part of its continued rollout across the platform, CoPlanner is now embedded into Anaplan’s Integrated Financial Planning application — enabling instant interrogation and analysis of financial models for faster, more informed decisions. The upcoming Anaplan CoPlanner Console will allow organizations to configure, fine-tune, and govern generative AI at scale. 

• Agentic AI, enabled through products launching soon like Anaplan Detector Agent and Anaplan Workflow Agent, acts on behalf of customers by identifying data anomalies, recommending next steps, and triggering workflows across teams and systems, autonomously, but always with human oversight.

This full-stack intelligence is powered by Anaplan’s Polaris calculation engine, built for massive scale and natural multidimensionality, and Anaplan Data Orchestrator, which ensures real-time, transparent data activation from source to scenario model. Polaris processes quintillions of data points in real-time, enabling planners to instantly adjust forecasts based on shifting inputs like supplier delays, currency fluctuations, or market demand.

“Our strategy is designed to simplify the management and use of corporate data for AI-based scenario planning and to scale the platform to deal with the massive datasets required by AI — two areas where Anaplan has delivered breakthrough innovations,” said Adam Thier, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Anaplan. “That’s why we’re not just releasing features. We’re setting a new standard for predictive, generative and agentic AI in enterprise planning and in the process, driving efficiencies, continuous improvement and superior productivity.”

AI, with accountability

Every capability within Anaplan Intelligence is designed in accordance with the company’s responsible AI principles, which ensure transparency, traceability, and control across every AI-assisted action.

“We believe AI should work with people, not around them,” said Thier. “And the only way to do that is to embed trust and governance into the system from the start.”

From vision to value: New applications for business-critical use cases

Committed to delivering best-in-class applications with out-of-the-box capabilities and embedded best practices, Anaplan is introducing four new applications that help teams put intelligence to work quickly.

• Segmentation and Scoring: Helps shape go-to-market strategies and surfaces accounts with the greatest revenue potential, through intelligent account segmentation and scoring. It enables focused revenue orchestration and more effective allocation of sales and marketing investments, helping Chief Revenue Officers (CROs) and their teams maximize revenue performance management.

• Go-to-Market (GTM) Capacity Planning: The first dedicated solution on the market built specifically for headcount and capacity planning across all teams that drive revenue. By aligning commercial resources to market opportunity, it provides CROs and business leaders with a unified view of capacity and performance aligned with headcount expense planning and operational workforce planning — optimizing both sales coverage and cost. 

• Integrated Business Planning (IBP): Empowers supply chain leaders to make data-driven decisions that are aligned with operational and financial goals. Integrated Business Planning (IBP): With enhanced visibility, process orchestration, and ad-hoc scenario modeling capabilities, supply chain leaders can model risks and opportunities ensuring resources are deployed in the most profitable way.   

• Merchandise Financial Planning (MFP): Helps retailers better anticipate shifts in consumer demand and adapt plans quickly to ensure the right inventory is in the right place at the right time. It supports global pre-season and in-season strategies, open-to-buy optimization, and scenario planning — aligning merchandise with financial business goals.

These applications are based on common customer use cases from nearly two decades of Anaplan experience in deploying 1.5 million planning models, giving organizations a faster path to cost-effective transformation and accelerated time to value.
