    The Lapp Group is an internationally active, family-run company for which the reporting and planning process is an important management tool. Within these processes, there have been different challenges in the past. In this masterclass you will learn from the person responsible for the project how Lapp overcame these challenges by using Apliqo. Challenges: Structure - lack of a unified ERP system and different levels of granularity, complicating the analysis and planning process. Reporting - lack of global standard reporting (tool), encourages sending static reports via Excel or pdf. Planning - group-wide planning on Excel, increases the number of possible errors and the turnaround time for planning After a lengthy evaluation process, the Lapp Group has significantly improved the reporting and planning process with the Apliqo FPM solution developed by Cubewise. Solutions A database that serves as the basis for financial and operational data A reporting system that provides any analysis for P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, as well as operational analysis areas (sales, margins, headcount, price/quantity, transfer prices) An integrated and driver-based planning solution (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) that moves the company away from Excel and simplifies the planning process A modern web front-end that enables users to take the analysis and planning process to another level.

In the midst of the "War of Accounting Talents", DONE!Financials believes that professional know-how and the right experts are more important than ever, even in times of ChatGPT and artificial intelligence.
