GLP Europe Collaborates with Alpha Alternatives and Anaplan to Transform Operational Asset Management

GLP Europe has partnered with Alpha Alternatives, a specialist private markets technology and operations consultancy to reimagine key operational processes across their 300+ European logistics assets portfolio including asset budgeting and forecasting, asset and portfolio performance review and operational reporting. 

GLP Europe recognized both a lack of scalability and increased risk associated with translating complex Excel processes across multiple geographies within a single vertically integrated operating platform comprising €15.8bn AUM.  

GLP Europe challenged Alpha Alternative to provide a robust, sector agnostic and scalable solution (Anaplan) with a broad scope: 

• Generate asset and portfolio cashflow projections, returns, and operational KPIs within a unified, cloud-based platform. 

• Import and integrate business data seamlessly including leasing, asset, and financial data within an immaterial error rate. 

• Allow local teams unhindered visibility to asset and portfolio returns and direct ability to undertake scenario analysis on deal concepts and structures. 

• Facilitate greater collaboration and efficiency between Asset Managers, Fund Managers, and supporting teams through constructed workflows. 

• Provide an intuitive user experience and dashboards that promote self-sufficiency and less reliance on single points of contact 

• Perform portfolio wide stress testing, shifting market assumptions and reviewing the aggregate impact on portfolio returns and exit metrics. 

Michael Radcliffe, Asset Management Director, GLP Europe, emphasizing the positive impact of Anaplan on their budgeting and forecasting: 

“We are pleased to be working with Alpha Alternatives on some of our key asset management operational processes. We have realized immediate benefits with greater asset and portfolio visibility on asset performance and operating metrics. The ability for our teams on the ground to appraise deal concepts ensures we are maximizing risk-adjusted returns for our stakeholders.” 

Neil Elliott, Senior Partner at Alpha Alternatives highlighted the transformative impact of this collaboration: 

“Alpha Alternatives’ ongoing partnership with Anaplan has played a crucial role in driving exceptional results for GLP. Our collaborative approach working alongside the GLP team has been fundamental in empowering GLP to successfully update their processes. We are excited to further enhance this relationship and achieve even greater success together.” 

Through this initiative, GLP Europe is poised to unlock new levels of efficiency, accuracy, and agility in its asset portfolio management. This strategic implementation of Anaplan will empower GLP Europe to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource allocation, and drive sustainable growth in the dynamic and evolving global logistics real estate market.
