Case Study: Chocolatier Natra achieves faster, transparent financial close and planning with CCH Tagetik

Natra - Customer Case Study

Natra, a 78‑year‑old independent European chocolatier with €500M revenue and commercial operations in 90 countries, faced slow, error‑prone month‑end closes driven by highly granular, multidimensional and multicurrency data. Relying on Excel spreadsheets and an outdated SAP BPC left the finance team with limited flexibility, poor traceability and mounting reporting requirements, so they chose to replace their CPM tool.

Natra implemented CCH Tagetik (Budgeting, Planning & Forecasting; Financial Close & Consolidation; Lease Accounting for IFRS16/ASC 842) plus the Microsoft Dynamics connector and the CCH Tagetik Analytic Information Hub to unify data across 19 companies and ~19,000 products. The result: faster planning cycles, aligned management and financial consolidation, flexible reporting, improved data transparency and traceability, a collaborative multi‑user workflow, reduced intercompany and FX effort, and compliance‑ready lease accounting — creating a single trusted source for reporting.
