Tailored solutions for Energy Supply & Public Utility Companies

'For our energy supply provider-specific sales controlling we were looking for a partner with a lot of experience in our industry ... and found it in smartPM.solutions. The smartPM.solutions teams economic knowledge is top-class and they take care of all technical details in the background (e.g. connection of source systems such as SAP and Soptim, software updates in coordination with our IT service provider, etc.) - so we can fully concentrate on sales planning and sales control. I can unreservedly recommend working with smartPM.solutions.'

'Our consultants from smartPM.solutions have a very high level of specialist knowledge both in the field of business administration and in the specific topics of the transport and energy supply industry with regard to the requirements for planning and reporting. This is particularly important for us as a group. Due to their strong prevero (Unit4 FP&A) background, they have a perfect command of our controlling software and are therefore the single point of contact for us, guarantee fast response times and unbureaucratic help in an emergency. In addition, sPM take care of the coordination with technical service providers in the background, for example for software updates and connection of legacy systems such as SAP. That makes smartPM.solutions the ideal partner for all organizational and technical aspects of corporate planning, measure/project controlling and reporting.'

'smartPM.solutions supports us in all areas of FP&A controlling, with both ad-hoc inquiries and relevant further developments on the existing model. One of these further developments was to further relieve decentralized planning through automated suggested values. The use of smartPM enabled those responsible for planning to reduce their use of resources by 25 percent, thereby placing the focus on content and daily forecasts. We were particularly impressed by smartPM through the fast processing times for ad-hoc inquiries and the specialist knowledge of the consulting team, which supported us with their experience and their own ideas. Based on the good cooperation with smartPM, trust in the system landscape and the Unit4 FP&A software solution was further strengthened.'

'The project really brought us forward. Thanks to the highly flexible platform and the professional and uncomplicated cooperation with the consultants from smartPM.solutions, we have gained valuable quality time that we can now use for the really important tasks.'

“As part of the consolidation of the DEW21 subgroup with the UNIT4 FP&A software, the consultants from smartPM.solutions provided us with comprehensive support. Any questions, suggestions and system-related problems were processed promptly and implemented competently and purposefully. This enabled us, in particular, to significantly accelerate the process of intercompany reconciliation while maintaining consistently high data quality. Due to this data quality, the final consolidation of the DEW21 subgroup could be carried out without any problems.”

„We had to build our monthly sales reports with Excel in the past – this was error-prone, slow and painful. Now we automatically connect our Unit4 Prevero based reporting system to our source systems like SAP and Soptim. Thus we can analyze and report data ad-hoc or in a pre-defined, standardized way, addressing the needs of all stakeholders individually. It was a good decision to work with smartPM.solutions: they know the CPM software inside out, easily connect source systems and manage the project in a straight-forward way.”
