Bauli Group | Consumer Packaged Goods | 1590 | $743M | Italy | Board International | Board FC | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2019 | n/a |
In 2019 Bauli Group implemented Board FC for Financial Consolidation and Close. The Board application was already part of Bauli's decision making platform for planning and forecasting, analytics, reporting and scenario management, and was extended into a consolidated planning and reporting environment at group level covering the celebration and everyday product business units. The deployment targeted corporate functions including management control, sales, supply chain and finance, aligning planning across campaigns and customer accounts. The implementation emphasized a single multidimensional environment to consolidate P&L and support multiple budgeting time horizons.
An initial needs assessment produced a prototype focused on P&L management, which was iteratively configured to deliver budgeting, forecasting, scenario management and reporting capabilities within Board FC. Functional capabilities implemented include volume planning expressed in quintals, price list and ad hoc pricing adjustments, commercial condition modelling for invoiced goods and discounts, cost of goods sold allocation, and campaign level analytics. The platform supported multidimensional drilling by time, customer account, product, campaign, company, division and currency, enabling consolidated views that reflect differing time buckets for celebration versus everyday products. Board FC maintained a single environment for versioning, allowing multiple budget iterations and forecast comparisons without leaving the platform.
Operational integration extended the application into sales planning workflows, with corporate controllers initiating volume plans, sales network users able to adjust quantities and apply discounts inside the same application, and production and supply chain managers validating inputs for planning and scheduling. Pricing inputs were managed by corporate control with sales users able to add new products and adjust prices, providing visibility of future trends and product impact. These integrated inputs fed cost planning and logistics, producing continuity and consistency between corporate control, sales objectives and supply chain plans. The implementation therefore functioned as an end to end sales planning backbone across the group.
Governance was organized around stakeholder input and corporate control validation, with a finalization step that produced a consolidated P&L and enabled detailed variance analysis at the customer product level. Profiling and segmentation of data were used to plan individual sales campaigns and to identify customer product impact on P&L rows, supporting campaign performance analysis and regional reporting. The Board FC application supported monthly revisions of forecasts tied to actuals, and provided scenario generation capabilities to compare multiple business scenarios. At group level the platform is used for spending control and to examine alternate business scenarios as stated by Bauli's BI leadership.

Brenntag UK | Oil, Gas and Chemicals | 776 | $500M | United Kingdom | Board International | Board FC | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2019 | n/a |
In 2019 Brenntag UK implemented Board FC, a Financial Consolidation and Close application to centralize financial planning, consolidation and reporting into a single decision-making platform. The rollout targeted group finance processes and sought to introduce a formal budgeting and planning tool to replace manual Excel workflows, moving the organisation toward a unified consolidation and KPI reporting model.
Board FC was configured to deliver budgeting and planning, statutory and management consolidation, interactive reporting and visual dashboards, with drill-through capabilities and top-down forecasting workflows. The deployment emphasized self-service modelling, enabling finance users to design, specify, and build sub-sections such as a high-level four month forecast, while preserving controlled consolidation logic and KPI computation across entities.
The implementation consolidated data and KPIs that had existed across four disparate consolidation environments into a single Board FC solution, enabling simultaneous workstreams and direct drill-through between two different P and L reporting structures. Operational coverage spanned Brenntag UK and Ireland and the Multisol Groups, with primary business function impact in group accounting, financial planning and analysis, and transportation cost reporting where drill-through provided transaction level visibility.
Project governance was led by Group Accountant and project manager Kathryn Frosdick, with Simpson Associates engaged as the implementation partner based on prior delivery credibility. Adoption notes describe a phased rollout with growing user confidence and internal capability building, and explicit outcomes reported by the finance team include substantial time savings, specifically removing a full day from quarterly reporting cycles and delivering greater transparency of information through integrated dashboards and drill-through analysis.

GL Homes | Construction and Real Estate | 500 | $100M | United States | Board International | Board FC | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2013 | n/a |
In 2013, GL Homes implemented Board FC from Board International to provide Financial Consolidation and Close capabilities for its Finance, Planning and Accounting teams. The implementation targeted consolidation and planning use cases for the company’s construction and real estate finance function, centralizing close-related processes within a single application.
Board FC was configured to support financial consolidation workflows, period close orchestration, statutory and management reporting, and planning and budgeting processes, together with embedded data analytics and dashboarding for FP&A. Configuration work centered on solution models for account hierarchies, consolidation rules and intercompany elimination logic, and planning dimensions to align consolidated financial statements with operational budgets.
Integrations were implemented with JD Edwards to ingest GL and subledger feeds, and with OutSystems plus internal .NET applications to capture ancillary data and support custom user interfaces. The integration layer handled scheduled data loads, master data synchronization and audit tracing to enable repeatable month-end consolidation cycles and to maintain data lineage between transactional systems and Board FC.
Operational ownership remained with Finance, Planning and Accounting, with team responsibilities that included development, maintenance and ongoing user support. Governance and process controls included formal quality assurance and test plan execution, documentation of processes and end user guides, structured user training and concurrent initiative management to triage functional and technical issues across JD Edwards, BOARD, OutSystems and internal .NET applications.

Granarolo | Consumer Packaged Goods | 2300 | $1.4B | Italy | Board International | Board FC | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2019 | n/a |
In 2019 Granarolo deployed Board FC as its Financial Consolidation and Close application to establish a unified Group controlling model supporting Sales, Production, Logistics, and Accounting. The initiative targeted consolidation across more than 30 subsidiaries and multiple production sites in Italy, France, Brazil, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and Germany, aligning local and IFRS accounting views under a single platform.
Board FC was implemented as a multi-functional CPM layer combining financial consolidation, operational planning, and embedded analytics. Functional capabilities include automated financial statement loading, automated intercompany eliminations, manual adjustment workflows, consolidated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reporting, multi-year business planning with Capex and depreciation modeling, and a pre-closing and closing application that runs integrated financial and non-financial data in the same environment. The environment also supports simulation and scenario analysis and hosts optimization algorithms used for raw material assignment and supply chain planning.
The deployment integrated Board FC with Granarolo ERP estates, explicitly including connection capabilities to SAP ERP models and a range of different ERP systems in subsidiaries, creating a single CPM integration layer for disparate data sources. Data volumes processed through the platform are substantial and explicitly documented, including 30,000,000 rows of accounting data per year, 40,000,000 rows of sales data per year, and 1,000,000 invoice records per year, which are consolidated and reused across reporting and planning functions.
Governance was restructured to create a Group Controlling Department linked to business controlling units, enabling a structured top-down and bottom-up process for sales target setting, forecasting, and weekly feedback loops. The Board FC deployment supported a weekly closed-loop sales forecasting cadence used by approximately 200 sales professionals, and standardized consolidation processes for Local and IFRS gaap with automated workflows for intercompany eliminations and manual adjustments to improve control and process continuity.
Explicit outcomes from the Board FC implementation include shortening the pre-closing and closing cycle from 20 days to five days and a reported 50 percent reduction in finance team time spent on daily activities together with 30 percent fewer data points to manage owing to a single version of the truth. The platform also accelerated purchasing and production planning, reducing planning cycles by two weeks through integrated sales forecasts, plant availability, and optimization-driven raw material allocation, and it has supported integration of multiple acquisitions into the Group reporting framework.

Groupe SEB | Manufacturing | 31000 | $8.0B | France | Board International | Board FC | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2020 | n/a |
In 2020, Groupe SEB implemented Board FC as its Financial Consolidation and Close application to underpin a new Enterprise Performance Management layer over existing reporting systems. The initiative targeted the global finance organization of Groupe SEB, a manufacturer operating in nearly 150 countries with roughly 33,000 employees, with the objective of introducing agility into budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and executive reporting processes that were constrained by the prior SAP BW reporting environment.
The Board FC deployment leveraged the Board decision-making platform capabilities, combining Business Intelligence, Planning, and Predictive Analytics within a single environment. Functional modules and capabilities implemented included statutory and management consolidation, P&L generation by product lines and geographies at multiple hierarchy levels, data entry and versioning, workflow-driven approvals, automated consolidation rules and cost allocations across multiple axes and keys, lease accounting consolidation for large volumes of contract data, and multidimensional waterfall analysis isolating scope, currency effects, and price volume product mix. The solution also hosted simulation and what-if modeling for purchase price scenarios and fixed cost absorption, supporting monthly, quarterly, annual, and multi-year planning cycles.
Architecturally, Board FC was deployed as an EPM layer on top of Groupe SEB’s SAP BW reporting system, consuming historical master data and transactional extracts while providing a front-end for faster, more visual reporting. Integrations were focused on feeding consolidation and planning datasets from the existing SAP BW source, and the solution was positioned to consolidate weekly sales reporting and plant standard cost updates for operational decision making. The implementation emphasized user ergonomics to enable finance users to gain autonomy from IT and to reduce the reliance on expert-only tools.
Governance and rollout followed an Agile program branded FAST, Finance Agile Smart Tools, with iterative sprints to build a finance toolbox of smart, dedicated solutions. The rollout introduced workflow governance, version control, and process standardization for consolidation and forecasting, shifting control of planning variables toward business owners while preserving consolidation rigor. Groupe SEB’s selection process concluded that the Board platform, and specifically Board FC for Financial Consolidation and Close, was the most complete solution among evaluated EPM options for delivering the stated goals of flexibility, simulation capability, and improved reporting speed.
