"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.”

“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."

"1 minute 40 seconds to generate the customer-product P&L for 1,100 SKUs associated with 3,000 customers and 150 agents. 270 clerical employees, 220 users of BOARD. Over 15 years of active collaboration. These statistics are enough, I believe, to illustrate the success of Bauli and BOARD in the construction of an integrated Business Intelligence and Performance Management environment."

"The BOARD BI Toolkit is so easy to use that, as a commercial assistant with no programming expertise, I find it childs play, and really enjoy working with it, creating extensive reports, even setting up new planning applications and consolidation in BOARD.

To accomplish this, we are continuously expanding our system, and still have a great many new ideas."
