Connected Planning implementation, optimization, support and training — delivered by a Certified Master Anaplanner with 15+ years across FP&A, S&OP, Supply Chain, Trade Marketing and HR. Trusted by Brazilian industries and global multinationals across four continents.
A Certified Master Anaplanner leads every project. We work directly with end clients — from Brazilian industries to global pharma and agtechs — and as a specialist technical squad embedded inside larger global consultancies. When you talk to Flexthink, you're talking to the people who'll be inside your model. Not to a salesperson.
From a first lean FP&A model to an integrated ecosystem covering finance, operations, sales and people — we deliver Anaplan at any maturity stage.
From requirement gathering to go-live. Lists, modules, rules, dashboards and approval workflows — delivered in two-week sprints with functional output every cycle.
Anaplan's real value emerges when HR, Revenue, OPEX, Costing, Inventory and financial statements (P&L, BS, CF) live inside the same connected model — with fast simulation triggers and side-by-side scenario comparison.
Anaplan models slow down for predictable reasons: poorly sized lists, mass SUMIFs, missing Module and Saved View best practices, logic scattered instead of centralized. We diagnose, refactor the critical zones, and hand back a prioritized action plan — often without rebuilding the model from scratch.
Anaplan deployed and abandoned is more common than people admit. When the model is technically sound but engagement collapsed, we run a recovery plan: user expansion, process refresh, and protection of investment already made.
The model doesn't end at go-live — it begins there. We structure internal Centers of Excellence for gradual autonomy, provide technical support with SLA, and evolve the model as the business changes.
We train modellers and business users at every level. From L1 (UX usage) to L3 (architecture of complex models). For companies that want to stop depending 100% on external consulting.
What makes Anaplan win market share is a combination other platforms rarely deliver together: implementation speed (lean models in production in 6 to 10 weeks), business-user modelling (the FP&A team can evolve the model without depending 100% on IT), real-time collaboration (multiple people working on the same model simultaneously, with instant calculations) and a modern interface from day one (no need for skin-deep refreshes to feel "current").
Anaplan is also pure SaaS — no on-premise option. For many companies that's an advantage (zero infrastructure to manage); for others it's a constraint (compliance, sensitive data in isolated environments). It's part of the platform decision — and one of the first things we evaluate with the client.
According to a Forrester TEI study commissioned by Anaplan, organizations adopting the platform reported up to 303% return on investment over three years, with benefits distributed across SG&A reduction, inventory optimization, IT cost avoidance and Workforce Management improvements.

Because we also work with IBM Planning Analytics, we run platform evaluations impartially. When Anaplan is the right call, we say so. When IBM PA is better — for data volume, rule complexity or infrastructure requirements — we say that too.
One named client and two anonymized cases under confidentiality. The scopes described are real.
We implemented one connected model covering HR and payroll, OPEX, variable revenue, costing, inventory, and consolidation into P&L, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow. The entire financial chain of the company in a single model, with integrated calculations and side-by-side scenario comparison.
