Case Study Ferrer

FERRER GROUP ACHIEVES AN END-TO-END INTEGRATED PLANNING PROCESS FROM R&D TO DISTRIBUTION

The Company: Ferrer is an international privately-held pharmaceutical company with headquarters in Barcelona and presence in more than 115 countries. Ferrer’s vertical business covers everything from R&D to product distribution. The company’s mission is to contribute to improving health and quality of life through the pharmaceutical, OTC, self-care, molecular diagnosis, fine chemicals and food sectors. 

The Challenge: 

•    Improve the quality of data included in the budgeting processes
•    Reduce the complexity of planning processes
•    Make forecasting more accurate and consistent across different departments and over time, and consolidate that information
•    Empower controllers, executives and senior managers to take fact-based decisions, rather than relying (only) on gut feelings and personal assumptions
•    Minimize low-value-added manual work
