Integrated Financial Planning at PIM Brands

PIM Brands replaced manual, Excel-based processes with SAP Analytics Cloud, integrating demand and financial planning, enabling detailed customer and product P&Ls, and improving scalability.

The challenge

Before implementing SAP Analytics Cloud, PIM Brands faced a maze of manual processes and disconnected systems. Financial planning relied on cumbersome Excel spreadsheets, raising concerns about accuracy, security, and efficiency. As the company experienced rapid growth, their outdated tools couldn’t keep pace, and the absence of customer and product-specific P&Ls left critical insights out of reach.

The process

SandPoint Consulting implemented a robust planning solution in SAP Analytics Cloud:

  • Integrated demand and financial planning with a customer-aligned forecast
  • Created customer and product P&Ls by allocating SG&A costs
  • Streamlined budgeting and reforecasting across financial statements and cost tracking
  • Enabled workforce planning for new hires and personnel data
  • Connected SAP IBP with SAC for advanced planning
  • Incorporated balance sheet and cash flow forecasting

The result

Automation transformed PIM Brands’ workflows, replacing manual tasks with efficiency while enhancing accuracy and security. The scalable solution kept pace with rapid growth, and detailed P&Ls revealed critical insights into customer and product profitability.
