The Benelux market leader of DIY home improvement stores; Intergamma B.V., has chosen Board Platform to provide Strategic Planning and Financial Reporting & Consolidation.

Board International, the leading global provider of software for unified Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management, today announced that the Benelux market leader of DIY home improvement stores; Intergamma B.V., has chosen Board Platform to provide Strategic Planning and Financial Reporting & Consolidation.

First opening in 1971, Intergamma B.V. is now facilitating 386 stores (GAMMA and KARWEI) of which 9 are privately owned stores and 377 franchise stores across the Netherlands and Belgium. Intergamma is employing a staff of 370. Due to enterprise growth and reporting complexity and professionalism, the organisation identified the need for a solution to reduce the time taken for the budgeting, planning and reporting process.

Board will provide a global financial planning and reporting platform that will offer a consolidated view of results across the enterprise whilst providing users with all the flexibility needed to easily run customised financial reports and analysis. Intergamma will also use the Board solution to run the Financial Consolidation process and to link it with their Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting procedure. This will replace the manual intervention between Excel and other disparate data sources freeing up the financial team to spend more time on valuable financial analysis and business partnership.

Board was identified as the best fit for Intergamma‘s business needs thanks to the unified nature of the solution allowing for all future requirements to be met with just one technology. The provision of the Board platform via the cloud will provide further flexibility to facilitate a user-friendly adoption across the finance team.

With a single integrated approach to Business Analytics and Corporate Performance Management, Board provides critical information quickly and easily, integrating budgeting, planning and forecasting with reporting, analysis and dash-boarding with write-back capability. Board has already enabled over 3,000 companies to improve their business performance by making better decisions.

Manon Harmelink, Manager Business Control at Intergamma:

“As our company is continually changing, we need a tool that is flexible in creating reports and forecasts.

It should also be able to disclose the financial data of several sources and support us in effectively planning our business. We chose Board as it offers an intuitive way of creating analyses. The visual modelling is especially mature and promises to give valuable insights to inform our Chief decision-makers. Since the Board consultants show a good understanding of the financial field we are confident of having chosen the right tool for our business needs.”

Matteo Cappelletti, Regional Manager at Board Benelux commented:

“I am delighted that after a thorough selection process Intergamma has chosen Board as their Business Intelligence, Financial Consolidation and Planning solution. We look forward to working with them to implement a solution that transforms the way they manage information across their business.”
