Case Study: Bugaboo achieves faster, more accurate forecasting with IBM Cognos TM1

IBM Cognos TM1 makes enterprise planning manageable

Bugaboo, a global manufacturer of pushchairs, faced challenges with its existing IBM Cognos Planning solution as rapid growth led to performance issues, a cumbersome management load, and an inability to perform broader forecasting for different departments. The company needed a more flexible, faster, and easier-to-manage enterprise planning platform to generate accurate financial and sales forecasts.

By implementing IBM Cognos TM1, IBM provided Bugaboo with a scalable solution that consolidated its planning into one manageable model. This resulted in major time savings, as functional changes that once took hours now take minutes, and reports are generated from a near real-time data warehouse. The solution from IBM also enabled various departments to create detailed reports and "what if" scenarios, allowing Bugaboo to respond proactively to the information needs of the business and improve the accuracy of its future planning.
