Case Study: EDEKA Southwest achieves efficient project portfolio management and faster, on-budget project delivery with Sciforma

Generating added value through efficient project portfolio management

EDEKA Southwest, one of seven regional companies in the EDEKA Group, operates roughly 1,200 stores, five logistics centers and six production sites, with about 44,000 employees and over €9 billion in annual sales. Faced with more than 500 annual projects spanning IT, construction and customer initiatives, the company’s legacy tools and Excel spreadsheets could not support centralized portfolio planning, rescheduling, cross‑project analysis or coordination of parallel efforts, leading to overruns and inefficiencies.

EDEKA Southwest implemented Sciforma on‑premise to provide centralized project planning, reporting, dashboards and integrations, with phased rollout, training and support. The system delivered real‑time target vs. achievement data, automated alerts, better resource allocation and cross‑unit synergies; projects are now typically on time and on budget, reporting is automated and accessible to executives, and the scalable, GDPR‑compliant solution supports future expansion.
