Case Study: Bystronic automates decentralized planning and accelerates global budgeting with Jedox

Bystronic Automates Decentralized Planning Comprehensive Cpm Solution in Combination With Jedox and Qlik

Bystronic, a global provider of laser cutting, press brakes and automation software with about 2,800 employees and sales/service presence in 30+ countries, faced a time‑consuming, error‑prone decentralized budgeting process managed in Excel despite already using QlikView and IBM Cognos for reporting and consolidation. The company needed a standardized, operational planning solution to serve its worldwide finance and controlling teams.

Bystronic implemented the Jedox Simple.Planner‑Suite via partner Business & Decision, integrating Jedox with Qlik for planning, analysis and visualization and feeding consolidation into Cognos. The solution was deployed in six months, put operational planning into the hands of local users while central finance retained system control, and delivered faster, more detailed driver‑based budgeting and forecasting, continuous plan/actual views and greater transparency across all branches.
