Case Study: Manitou achieves faster time-to-market and streamlined project management with Sciforma 7.0 PPM

Manitou Furthering Product Innovation & Development with PPM Solution

Manitou Group, a global leader in all‑terrain material‑handling equipment with 3,000+ employees and €1.3B in annual sales, relied on 225 engineers to drive continuous product innovation. The company struggled with fragmented time tracking, limited visibility across R&D, design, testing and finance, and complex budget monitoring — and needed a scalable tool to consolidate project data and enable real‑time reporting across portfolios.

Manitou deployed Sciforma 7.0 PPM across R&D, IT, the PMO and design sites, rapidly onboarding more than 300 users to manage 10–15 concurrent projects. The solution delivered consolidated, real‑time reporting, clearer resource and budget visibility, improved time tracking and faster course corrections — streamlining development cycles so new products reach market faster and enabling a broader portfolio management pilot.
