Case Study: Dr. Willmar Schwabe achieves clearer project portfolio transparency with PLANTA

Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH & Co. KG - Customer Case Study

Dr. Willmar Schwabe GmbH & Co. KG, a producer of herbal and homeopathic medicinal products, faced a lack of transparency across its portfolio of approximately 300 simultaneous projects. Their rudimentary SharePoint list did not provide clear visibility into project status, timelines, or resource allocation, making it difficult for management to make reliable decisions. To address this, they implemented the PLANTA portfolio management software along with PLANTA project, customizer, and link components.

PLANTA replaced the existing system with a solution tailored to Schwabe's specific processes, enabling over 300 stakeholders to monitor project status at a glance. The implementation was completed rapidly, taking just 2.5 months to go live. The results after six months included a measurable increase in schedule adherence, a reduction in the number of simultaneously running projects, and an improved ability to focus on and synchronize important initiatives, providing the management with a much clearer and more transparent overview.
