Case Study: Mercedes-Benz South Africa achieves reliable forecasting and streamlined reporting with Jedox

Mercedes-Benz implements Jedox in only a few weeks

Mercedes‑Benz South Africa, the local arm of Daimler AG, relied on fragmented Excel-based reporting that was slow, manual and error-prone. The Finance/Business Controlling team needed a more structured way to store history, perform variance analysis and produce reliable forecasts and budgets across headcount, costs and cost centers.

They implemented Jedox as an Excel-integrated, self-service planning and reporting platform in just weeks, later adding the built-in SAP connector for seamless data access. The result is stable, consistent monthly reporting and accurate forecasting with minimal IT overhead—empowering finance users, reducing risk, and delivering a high return on investment.
