frostkrone Tiefkühlkost GmbH
Three Questions for Roman Wedel, frostkrone Tiefkühlkost GmbH
What was your starting point?
When I started at the company on 1st January 2009, there was neither a corporate performance management department nor a specialist consolidation tool. At first, we performed this exercise with the help of Excel, which was less than ideal. We introduced Corporate Planner at frostkrone not long afterwards, and we've been processing the financial figures for all the group companies with this program ever since.
What are your highlights?
The introduction of the CP database for consolidation several years ago has had a very positive impact on the entire consolidation process. Corporate Planner is not an oversized program, and creating reports and analyses in it is very straightforward, flexible and less error-prone than in Excel.
What lessons have you learned?
It's important for the staff to receive intensive training in this program so that they don't make unnecessary mistakes or spend too much extra time using it.
"Corporate Planner is an excellent tool for processing the consolidated actual and budgeted figures for frostkrone Food Group. The program has grown with our requirements over many years and has established itself as a best-practice solution for us."
