Heijmans cuts S-curve planning time by 66% with Vena Solutions

Heijmans, a leading construction and real estate development company in the Netherlands, faced fragmented financial planning processes reliant on error-prone spreadsheets. Their challenge was to shift from basic accounting to forward-looking business control, needing better tools for cost planning and forecasting. They partnered with Vena Solutions to implement the Vena planning platform.

By implementing Vena, Heijmans centralized and automated core financial processes. The solution standardized planning templates, integrated data from SAP, and provided a familiar Excel interface with a structured database. Results included cutting S-curve project planning time by 66%, reducing organizational cost planning from a full day to about one hour, and saving multiple days in IT budgeting lead times, all while increasing data quality and insight.
