255 Board Testimonials

"BOARD allows us to consolidate in a split second! Yes, consolidation can happen with a single button! Yes, consolidation can happen for 48 manufacturing plants and for 85 warehouses! At the beginning I was very skeptical, but I can guarantee you that it works.”

"The BOARD toolkit puts the solution in the end-users hands, taking the pressure away from other departments. The more I discover about the toolkit the more I realize I am on a learning curve."

“We selected BOARD because, together with its flexibility, it gives us a new approach. For us, this challenging journey wasn’t a mere project. Rather, it was a program, a new path towards an end-to-end budgeting, planning, and forecasting process."

"We draw data from all the different areas and divisions to give managers a Single Point of Truth from which to guide our company."

"We needed a planning system which integrates all planning processes. We needed a future-oriented planning system. We needed BOARD."

“With our integrated forecasts prompting early signals, we can now respond quickly to current market changes, and reduce any production and delivery delays, special productions and residual stocks. The result is a high level of availability while keeping stocks low. Our customers are happy with our impressive delivery times, securing, even increasing, sales. By centralizing purchasing we reduced our purchase prices and minimized our capital commitment costs, also contributing to a direct improvement in profit.”

"Board is extremely flexible and allows us to respond easily and in a timely manner to emerging business needs. The most positive aspect is the simplicity in making business users self-sufficient and fully proficient in promptly and effectively delivering their own information needs."

"The value added by BOARD is our new ability to run simulations: we have moved from viewing data AS-IS to a more advanced scenario, where we can analyze the impact of likely future events."

"With BOARD, we have a flexible, user-friendly and high-performance analysis tool at our disposal that requires minimal programming knowledge and which can quickly be adapted to changing framework conditions. Thanks to this concept, developed by Alpheus, we are in a position to acquiring enhanced background information for sales controlling."

"After the success of the DURG project, we see many new applications for Board We have already started work on Claims Reporting and Reserving and have plans for much more. We aim to exploit all the power of the toolkit to support simulations that will enable us on the one hand to optimize our capacity to process renewals and on the other to evaluate very quickly and accurately our exposure to a major catastrophe."

"The main lesson that I can personally derive from this project relates to the power of tools such as BOARD. It is now possible to simplify the teams that are mobilized to implement these kinds of projects by removing the middleman between the user and the developer."

"Due to its automation and customization processes, BOARD has a lesser number of consolidation and calculation processes which are also less complicated. The resulting ease of computation not only minimizes human errors and mistakes arising from linking two or more modules, it enables speedier re-generation of reports for business plans that have changed."

"The flexibility of BOARD has enabled us to extend its use from economic and financial analyses to the performance of operational analyses. In particular, we have recently released a solution for the analysis and control of plant energy production."

"Previously our international planning involved complex Excel BP plans in the framework of extensive planning sessions. With the transfer to BOARD we have made a quantum leap! Today all of the countries conduct their planning in their own currency in a clear and easy to operate application. Its a major gain for our work in the controlling department and also for our company management, which now has a complete overview of all data at all times."

"The management of a planning process for the supply chain, from sales and purchasing to stock and margins, integrated with the economic-financial area, had become a necessity for Compar; SDG, together with our internal team, assisted us from the process mapping stage right through to the implementation of the support solution. Together, we are now introducing the new models and solutions in the organisation which, for Bata, represent a new and efficient support for a more detailed planning of business goals and a more accurate analysis of variations and definition of possible alternative scenarios."
