Case Study: Humbel Gears Group achieves unified, company-wide project and resource planning with SoftwarePlant's BigPicture

Humbel Gears Group - Customer Case Study

Humbel Gears Group, a leader in gear production since 1928 with four production locations and 400 employees, needed a single tool to give a clear overview of initiatives and a central space to plan, execute and track many concurrent projects across departments. To close the gap between JIRA’s task management and visual project/resource planning, they chose SoftwarePlant’s BigPicture.

SoftwarePlant deployed BigPicture company-wide—used by IT for portfolio and resource planning, accounting for visual month‑end planning, engineering and R&D for project planning, and management for customer project and strategy visualization—consolidating planning, execution and reporting in one place. The BigPicture rollout reduced reliance on separate third‑party planning tools, provided clearer visibility into projects and resources across Humbel Gears Group’s sites and teams, and integrated directly with JIRA to streamline project workflows.
