Case Study: Komatsu Europe cuts manual consolidation by 80% with Board

Komatsu Europe cuts manual consolidation by 80% with Board

Komatsu Europe, the regional headquarters of the global heavy equipment manufacturer, faced significant challenges from fragmented Excel-based financial processes. Their consolidation team struggled with inconsistent data, limited analytical capabilities, and time-consuming manual tasks that took several days per reporting cycle. To modernize planning and analysis, they chose to implement the Board Enterprise Planning Platform from the vendor Board.

By deploying Board, Komatsu established a centralized platform for planning, consolidation, and reporting across approximately 25 business units. The solution empowered local entities to manage their own data, enabling real-time collaboration and deeper insights. As a result, Board helped accelerate forecasting cycles by 10-15%, reduced manual data preparation for consolidation by up to 80%, and cut consultancy costs for in-house developments by around 75%, fostering a widespread culture of innovation.
