Case Study: Scandic achieves faster, more transparent annual planning with Board

How Scandic Moved from Country‑By‑Country Budgets to a Unified, Automated Forecasting Platform with Board

Scandic Hotels, a leading Nordic hotel operator, was struggling with a fragmented, manual planning process built around country-by-country Excel workflows. The lack of transparency, inconsistent structures, and heavy manual effort made it difficult to consolidate data, improve forecasting accuracy, and support growth, so Scandic turned to Board for a unified planning and forecasting platform.

Board implemented a centralized solution for annual planning, rolling forecasting, reporting, and consolidation across Scandic’s markets. With Board, Scandic shortened its annual planning cycle from a couple of months to a few weeks, enabled near real-time reporting, and saved thousands of man-hours by replacing manual data exchanges and hundreds of Excel rent calculations with automated workflows.
