Case Study: Leipziger Stadtwerke achieves fast, consistent FP&A with Board

Leipziger Stadtwerke prepare for volatile energy markets

Leipziger Stadtwerke, one of Germany’s largest municipal utilities, needed a faster, more consistent way to handle volatile energy-market planning, financial statements, and scenario modeling. Manual data consolidation, error-prone coordination between teams, and lengthy financial statement preparation were slowing down economic planning and forecasting. To address these challenges, the company used Board Enterprise Planning Platform.

Board implemented an automated, flexible planning solution that centralized data, improved consistency across calculations, and gave business users more control over planning logic. As a result, Leipziger Stadtwerke cut financial statement calculation time from four hours to just 40 seconds, reduced errors, and enabled faster scenario testing and more agile, data-driven decision-making.
