FRÖBEL Bildung und Erziehung
Three Questions for Kay Kluger
What was your starting point?
Before we introduced Corporate Planner, we did our reporting and budgeting entirely in Excel, which had a high potential for error.
What are your highlights?
The automated data import has replaced the manual procedure, so the risk of error has been significantly reduced. Thanks to the daily import, we can now respond more quickly to ad-hoc enquiries.
What lessons have you learned?
Our day-to-day work benefits from the speed at which we create transparency across departments. We can expand the reports individually for each manager when required. However, it's important to think about structures beforehand and to check whether they make sense.

"Thanks to Corporate Planning, we can display our financing models, which vary throughout the country, in a consolidated and scalable form in one solution. The uniform tree structure optimizes our planning, the drilldown function provides a quick insight into our financial accounting data, and the automated data import saves time and improves data quality in comparison with Excel."
