Case Study
Relaunch of integrated demand planning
Fissler has been using Board for reporting and planning since 2004. As part of a comprehensive relaunch, the company once again opted for the programming-free tool and celver as implementation partner.
Our consultants therefore transferred the solution to the new board version, expanded and revised the individual planning modules, and networked the results with the upstream SAP system. As a result, Fissler now has an integrated demand planning system for optimal control of inventories and downstream processes.

Requirement:
In the course of restructuring the entire supply chain processes, changed and new requirements arose for the existing reporting and planning solution.
Implementation:
First, the structures of the previous system were converted and cleaned up, the data warehouse was set up and the interface to SAP was implemented. Afterwards, the relaunch of the planning solution could begin.
Advantages and benefits
- Integrated solution for annual pre-planning, central annual planning, monthly rolling forecast and action planning (domestic)
- Relief through structured planning process with corresponding workflows
- Demand-optimized production and procurement planning
- Accuracy and commitment in planning
- Optimization of finished goods inventories leads to reduced capital commitment
The central data warehouse that is now in place provides flexibility to integrate more data in the future. Internal know-how for the adaptation of the solution as well as the very good cooperation with celver in connection with the current state of the solution, leads us to the conclusion that our integrated demand planning is a decisive factor for success and that it creates a clear competitive advantage for us.
