Anaplan
Anaplan is a connected-planning platform whose SPM applications cover territory planning, quota setting, capacity modeling, and incentive compensation; Lanshore implements and operates Anaplan SPM alongside dedicated ICM platforms.
www.anaplan.comAnaplan approaches SPM from the planning side: territories, quotas, capacity, and comp modeled in one connected environment with finance and supply-chain planning. For organizations that treat sales planning as part of enterprise planning, Anaplan is often the natural SPM home.

Anaplan — FAQ
- Is Anaplan an ICM platform or a planning platform?

- Can Lanshore connect Anaplan to our comp platform?
- Yes. A common Lanshore pattern is Anaplan for planning with Varicent, Xactly, or CaptivateIQ for commission calculation, kept in sync by integration agents.
