Clyde Bergemann Cuts Forecast Preparation From Days to Minutes With Write!

Clyde Bergemann GmbH, part of Clyde Bergemann Power Group, needed a better way to handle forecasting and budgeting. The controlling team was spending two to three days per cycle manually extracting SAP data, formatting Excel templates, and consolidating inputs from cost center managers, while also struggling to track the rationale behind planning numbers. They used insightsoftware’s Write! product, integrated with their existing Qlik environment, to address the challenge.

With insightsoftware’s Write!, cost center managers now enter forecasts directly into Qlik dashboards, eliminating the Excel-based back-and-forth and cutting forecast preparation from days to minutes. The solution also supports project performance tracking with audit trails and centralized project documentation, replacing 10 separate Excel files and improving data quality with built-in validation. Across four forecast and budget cycles per year, Clyde Bergemann achieved major time savings and a single source of truth for planning and project data.
