Case Study: Volkswagen Mexico achieves 91% finance efficiency (up from 57%) with Board

Intelligent Planning at Volkswagen Mexico Delivering a 34% increase in overall finance efficiency

Volkswagen de México, one of six global Volkswagen manufacturing plants with more than 65,000 employees at Puebla and Silao, faced a fragmented finance environment built on Microsoft Access, Excel, flat files and manual processes. Those disconnected, time-consuming workflows made annual planning and KPI tracking error-prone, insecure and slow, introducing costly calculation deviations and undermining confidence in planning premises.

In 2015 VW Mexico selected the Board platform after evaluating major vendors to unify FP&A, BI and predictive analytics on a single database with built-in ETL and no-code application development. They implemented applications for marginal contribution calculation, data integration (including SAP FI and global systems), input consolidation, variation analysis and reporting—producing 20+ standard reports and flexible ad-hoc drill-downs—and achieved efficiency gains from 57% to 91%, with improved accuracy, visibility and cost savings.
