"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."
"The system is so flexible your problem almost becomes how to make a decision on how to configure the solution, but there is never a conversation around ‘that’s not possible."
"We’ve saved over 250 hours in low-value productivity just by implementing a new group-wide P&L report in Board. And that’s just one report of many."
"Management accounts can now be prepared in a couple of days whereas previously it was taking about a week."
"Bringing our budgeting process into Board has been a huge time saver for our FP&A department. It's a great way for them to really monitor the budget and work towards a rolling forecast where it's not just one budget cycle."
"We moved forward from an S&OP to an IBP process, focusing on 12 or 18-month forecasting, combined with scenario management driven by Board. That helps us to anticipate risks and opportunities across our demand process and proactively navigate through what is coming, also simulating our forecast figures to understand the volume impact on our P&Ls in different ways."
"Just on one simple report, we probably save around $15k a year in admin time. Not only that, the report is automatically updated, there's better visibility, it's more accurate, and we can drill into it as much as we want."
"Our product teams no longer forecast - they completely trust us to do their forecasting now. The efficiency in that is huge."
"What attracted us to Board was the flexibility in terms of what it could do and also the ease of which we could adapt it ourselves to what we wanted to do."
"Board Lease Accounting has become our benchmark for all lease agreements."
"Previously we had to manually send out Excel files, but now people can simply review the reports in Board. It’s a real advantage to have a single source of the truth across the organization."
"Our Excel spreadsheet had gotten to the point where it would take us literally 3 weeks, every quarter, to update our actuals and roll the model forward. I can now see that happen in less than 2 minutes, so the time we've actually saved in that space has just been ginormous."
"The all-in-one approach of Board, combining management reporting, consolidation, and planning, matches our vision of having an integrated platform for all our decision-making processes."
