Case Study: Panariagroup achieves automated budgeting and accurate production planning with Prophix Software

Panariagroup - Customer Case Study

Panariagroup, a global leader in ceramic floor and wall coverings with nine brands, 1,600 employees, six production plants and €350M in annual revenue, faced slow, error-prone financial processes: division reporting relied on SAP exports and heavy Excel work, budgeting was fragmented across companies and took up to four months, and production and inventory decisions lacked integrated, detailed planning.

By implementing Prophix, Panariagroup automated budgeting, allocations, reporting and consolidated financials while building detailed production and scenario models. The result: consolidated budgeting shortened to under two months with a bottom-up process involving 140+ users, automated monthly reporting completed in half a day, standardized allocations and improved visibility for raw‑material purchasing, production scheduling, inventory and “what‑if” decision‑making—freeing finance staff to focus on analysis.
