eDreams ODIGEO built a multidimensional Anaplan budget model in 2 months to analyze data from 18.5M customers across 43 markets.
Two-month timeline from proof of concept to fully integrated budget model with automated data flows
Plans created at aggregated levels cascade down to granular details in seconds for faster analysis
Teams across finance and business units now collaborate on multidimensional planning and forecasting
Co-build approach enabled the team to independently manage calculations, data loads, and dashboards
Every year, Barcelona-based eDreams ODIGEO helps 18.5 million customers across 43 markets book flights, cars, and lodging through its four online travel agency brands—eDreams, GO Voyages, Opodo, and Travellink—plus the metasearch engine Liligo. As one of Europe's largest online travel companies and e-commerce businesses, the finance team needed to analyze massive volumes of transactional data for budgeting and forecasting.
The challenge was clear: how could they leverage their rich data sources to support multidimensional analysis and create budgets quickly and collaboratively?
Based on a multidimensional proof of concept created by Anaplan Gold Partner Keyrus, eDreams ODIGEO selected Anaplan to combine insights from different business teams across the company to support planning and budgeting.
Working side-by-side with Keyrus, the eDreams ODIGEO team built a comprehensive budget model on the Anaplan platform. They created automated integrations with their existing MicroStrategy business intelligence and Oracle accounting systems—completing the entire implementation within just two months. The team also established a process to flow completed budget figures from Anaplan back into Oracle Hyperion Financial Management.
The implementation delivered immediate results. Plans can now be created at an aggregated level and cascaded down to granular levels in seconds, dramatically accelerating the planning cycle. When the finance team needs to incorporate additional historical data while building budgets, they can initiate an automated process that completes in less than half an hour.
The platform's ability to support, manage, and aggregate multidimensional data resulted in more granular plans and a significantly higher level of collaboration across teams. Beyond the finance department, other teams throughout the organization now also use Anaplan to support their own multidimensional modeling needs.
Perhaps most importantly, the co-build implementation approach left the eDreams ODIGEO team completely self-sufficient in Anaplan. The finance team can now independently make changes to calculations, data loads, and dashboards, empowering them to analyze financial and operational data across multiple dimensions to forecast business outcomes without depending on external support.
