    Powerlines Group GmbH

    Three Questions for Ruth Unger 

    What was your starting point? 

    The monthly reporting, as well as the forecasting and budgeting, was all done in Excel by the subsidiaries. Our corporate performance management team would then manually summarize the data in one Excel file. 

    What are your highlights? 

    We have an overview of our group budget straight away, as soon as our subsidiaries have finished their planning. We use the web client to display the daily financial KPIs of all our subsidiaries in a uniform layout with a previous year, budget and forecast comparison at the touch of a button, and also to prepare a standardized set of reports for the quarterly finance meetings. 

    What lessons have you learned? 

    To implement the software efficiently with a Corporate Planning consultant, you really need sound knowledge of the data availability in your source system. You also need to have a good overview of your specific reporting requirements and of the reports to be provided by Corporate Planner.
