Case Study: Boiron achieves faster, more flexible integrated business planning with Board

Boiron closes full monthly forecasts in 8 days with Board

Boiron Italia, the Italian subsidiary of the French homeopathic pharmaceutical group Boiron, faced challenges with a slow, fragmented planning process. Their legacy systems and heavy reliance on spreadsheets made monthly forecasting unrealistic, delaying vital reports and preventing agile responses in a volatile market. They needed a unified solution to integrate planning across all departments without sacrificing data quality or flexibility. They turned to the Board Intelligent Planning platform.

Board provided an integrated business planning (IBP) solution, creating a single workflow-based environment for planning, forecasting, and analytics across all departments including sales, logistics, and finance. This allowed Boiron Italia to automate processes, ensure data consistency, and empower cost centre managers. The results were transformative: they reduced their full monthly forecast cycle from about a month to just eight working days, enabling agile re-planning even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Board delivered the high speed, flexibility, and data quality required for decisive action.
