"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 wanted local management to be able to corroborate the entries within their own companies – to depict, for example, how incoming orders and revenue expectations developed compared with previous years, or how prices changed by product range and industry."
"BOARD has helped us, during a difficult time for this business, to achieve greater transparency within the company, not only by presenting processes such as forecasting and planning very clearly, but also in helping us to reconfigure them."
“It was the rapid application development and flexibility of the product that made BOARD a clear winner over the other offerings.”
"Many vendors offer simple planning solutions, but few systems let us see 'where we actually are, what we planned, and what we are planning to do'. We're really making progress in our assortment planning, especially with the features in BOARD like 'what's hot / what's not' charts and what-if analyses, as well as OTB management."
“When we are more efficient with our resources and time, we can channel more resources to the field and impact more people. By cutting out the manual financial work we were doing, we can focus on other things that allow us to improve our services to people. Previously I was reconciling bank statements with wire transfers. Now I can focus on improving our efficiencies and how we serve people."
"The planning process that used to take 3-4 weeks is now done in a matter of days."
“We discarded all those solutions that turned out to be rigid and not user-friendly. On the contrary, BOARD combines high flexibility and usability – minimizing the user’s dependence on the IT department - together with easy integration of data from different sources and with different structures."

“Ultimately, the school is all about providing good teaching and learning. We don't want the financials to dictate anything particularly but the information does help us to find balance in budgeting. And that certainly makes it worthwhile. It is always useful to have a better understanding of financial dynamics and BOARD has helped the School achieve this improved level of knowledge.”
"There’s so many more ways that you can collate the data and present it in our new system."
"With BOARD the FHNW offers completely new opportunities for reporting. The added value is firstly the stable platform and secondly the flexible design options."
"In our sector, the analysis of commercial variances is one of the most critical and relevant phases of management control. Just think that 1% of margin corresponds to approximately 5 million Euro. Thanks to BOARD we are able to understand in an intuitive and immediate manner how many products we sell, where we sell them, down to the article-store level of detail."
