Case Study: Eintracht Frankfurt achieves timely financial control and agile forecasting with insightsoftware (IDL Forecast)

Eintracht Frankfurt controls its finances with IDL

Eintracht Frankfurt, the Bundesliga club run by Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG, needed to move beyond manual Excel reporting to achieve reliable liquidity and financial planning, rapid scenario analysis tied to sporting events, and transparent reporting for the DFL and auditors. To address this, they engaged insightsoftware and deployed its IDL solution suite — including IDL Forecast (along with IDL Konsis, Cockpit and Importer) — integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV to centralize data and standardize planning across the organization.

insightsoftware implemented a comprehensive BI planning and forecasting solution that delivers integrated operational-to-consolidated planning, one-click plan/actual comparisons, automated quality controls, ticket-planning with contribution margin accounting and scenario simulations for league participation. The result is faster, decentralized planning, immediate liquidity forecasts, automatic consolidated reporting and auditable documentation for regulators, giving Eintracht Frankfurt real-time oversight and “an extremely high level of detail” in plans, forecasts and simulations.
