Case Study: HOLTER Group cuts monthly staffing forecast time by over 50% with Board Intelligent Planning Platform

Transformed Staffing Forecast and Controlling Processes at HOLTER Group Reducing the time it takes to complete monthly staffing activities by more than 50%

HOLTER Group is a family-owned plumbing and heating wholesaler in Austria with more than 850 employees across 25 locations. Relying on Excel and limited accounting-system features, Controlling struggled to get a complete, timely view of personnel development: staff changes arrived inconsistently by email or phone, forecasts were error-prone and could take up to 15 working days to complete.

HOLTER implemented the Board Intelligent Planning Platform — a coding‑free, drag‑and‑drop solution — and completed core training in five days. Department heads now enter local changes, data flows in via ODBC, and an integrated approval workflow ensures timely, accurate inputs; monthly staffing forecasts are produced in a maximum of seven working days (over 50% faster), with higher data quality and greater self-service for Controlling.
