Case Study: HKL Baumaschinen GmbH achieves faster, more transparent cost control with Corporate Planning

HKL BAUMASCHINEN GmbH - Customer Case Study

The customer, HKL Baumaschinen GmbH, a large Germany-based construction machinery supplier, faced a challenge in managing its 150 decentralized profit centers. Their central management team needed a solution to provide these divisions with self-service access to their financial figures, fostering greater entrepreneurial spirit and moving away from reliance on heads of department for information. They partnered with vendor Corporate Planning for their software solutions.

Corporate Planning implemented a solution that provided a transparent, centralized platform for financial and operational data. This allowed profit center managers to access their information directly, leading to a much faster flow of information, improved cost awareness, and the ability to take countermeasures sooner. The solution was well-accepted by 250 users, who now all work from the same set of figures. Corporate Planning's implementation created the desired entrepreneurial environment through enhanced data accessibility.
