Case Study: indie Semiconductor improves project and resource management with Planforge

How indie Semiconductor FFO combines resource management with project controlling and uses scenarios to make confident decisions

indie Semiconductor FFO GmbH, based in Frankfurt (Oder), develops high-frequency circuits for radar, sensor, and wireless communications. As its project portfolio grew, the company lacked a software system to monitor project management and relied on Excel and other tools, which led to an inconsistent view of project phases, tasks, and effort across customer projects. It also needed better documentation of budgets and a clearer way to connect project controlling with resource management.

With Planforge, indie Semiconductor FFO now manages its projects in a structured way and tracks resources, time, progress, and budget in one system. The company also uses scenario planning, gate checks, and the timeline feature to support decisions across its project landscape, including “bird’s-eye” portfolios that connect pilot development, series production, and the supply chain. According to indie Semiconductor FFO, Planforge improved transparency, project and resource management accuracy, and the ability to plan quality, time, and budget more consistently.
