Case Study: Groupe Pochet achieves agile scenario planning and unified, accurate financial data with Workday Adaptive Planning

Groupe Pochet improved scenario planning, gaining quality financial data

Groupe Pochet, a global leader in luxury perfume and beauty packaging with nearly €500M in 2019 sales and 4,500 employees across 14 sites, faced rising industry disruption compounded by fragmented reporting, heavy Excel use, and no real-time financial data. These issues increased cost, risk and inefficiency and made timely, group-wide planning and analysis difficult—prompting an ambitious finance transformation to unify systems and improve data reliability.

By implementing Workday Adaptive Planning and integrating data from four ERPs, Pochet harmonized financial models, created a consolidated income statement, and shortened reporting and budget cycles. The rollout delivered faster, higher-quality insights, halved budget preparation time, enabled rapid COVID-era reforecasting, improved cross‑team collaboration and ownership, and freed finance to focus on strategic analysis, cash tracking and KPI-driven decision-making.
