CHALLENGES
The Morawa group consists of various companies with different business processes. In the past especially the field of personnel cost planning faced more and more difficulties due to heterogeneous Excel files. The new planning system therefore had to be flexible enough to integrate the different requirements in one solution while being easy to use.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Employee based personnel cost planning is at the core of the solution. Master data, basic salaries, wages and rates of incidental wage costs are automatically transferred from the payroll into the CoPlanner. Individual or collective adjustments are recorded. Based on these data personnel costs including incidental wage costs and vacation and Christmas allowance are automatically calculated and transcribed to the result. All companies budget in the CoPlanner on the basis of the transcribed data. The planning data (including comments) are processed into reports by the Excel add in and are furthermore the basis for the budget discussions. The budgeting process and the total planning thus became significantly less time-consuming.
LESSONS LEARNED
A pilot company was chosen for the implementation. Thus it was possible to identify further necessary functions in the first planning phase and to accompany the users in the process. Based on these experiences the system could be optimised for the following budgeting. In this way the smooth integration of further clients and an easy expansion of the tool became possible.
TIMELINE
Implementation of interfaces and installation of the planning model after a short conception phase
Test phase involving the key user of the first phase and further adaptions of the system
Preparation of the first budgeting with the pilot clients and go live
Processing of the results of the first budgeting and preparation of the rollout to the different companies
