Case Study: Boskalis achieves harmonized financial and operational reporting and a single source of truth with Vena Solutions

Boskalis Harmonizes Its Financial and Operational Reporting by Implementing Vena as a Single Source of Truth

Boskalis is a global dredging, maritime services and offshore energy contractor operating in 90 countries with over 10,000 employees and roughly €2.5 billion in annual revenue. The company struggled with fragmented financial and operational reporting: multiple ERP systems, widespread Excel exports and duplicated manual work meant no single source of truth, frequent re‑entry errors and slow, inconsistent reporting across divisions.

Boskalis implemented Vena, starting with targeted use cases and a standardized Budget Control Report template, then expanded to feed consolidated data warehouse and real‑time sources into one platform. The result is a single source of truth with up‑to‑date reporting, standardized templates, dashboards and a five‑person Competence Center; reporting time and manual re‑entry have been greatly reduced, Power BI integration is underway, and the project has driven broader ERP consolidation and ongoing process improvements.
