Case Study: Zumtobel Group achieves faster, more reliable product launches and portfolio visibility with Planview Enterprise (Planview)

Zumtobel Group Lights Its Way to Market with Planview Enterprise

Zumtobel Group, an Austria-based, family-owned provider of integrated light solutions with 7,300 employees and more than 10,000 products worldwide, needed to streamline product lifecycle management. Managing hundreds of innovation projects annually, the company lacked centralized visibility and control over project portfolios, resources and capacity, which made consistent global planning and on-time product launches difficult.

Zumtobel deployed Planview Enterprise with Planview OpenSuite integrations to SAP, SharePoint and lab scheduling, creating role-based dashboards and a “management cockpit” for clear portfolio and resource views. The platform now supports 200+ global projects, improves cost and capacity transparency, automates data exchange and lab booking, reduces duplicated effort, and boosted planning, analytics and cross‑division rollout plans—delivering measurable efficiency gains and prompting expansion into IT and other areas.
