NETZSCH Selects Board for Continuous Financial Planning and Rolling Forecasts

Following a Comprehensive Selection and MVP Process, NETZSCH selects the Board Enterprise Planning Platform to Future-Proof Its Forecasting Processes

Frankfurt am Main – 18 March 2026 – NETZSCH, an owner-managed global technology company specializing in mechanical, plant and instrument engineering in Selb, Germany, has selected the Board Enterprise Planning Platform to facilitate its rolling forecast processes. After a thorough MVP-based selection process, Board and implementation partner bdg were selected to enhance forecasting capabilities by a dynamic, integrated approach that will better connect finance departments across NETZSCH’s business units and global entities.

The three business units are designing their own forecast processes in Board, while central controlling ensures group‑level alignment and incorporates the needs of the overall NETZSCH Group. This approach allows each division’s specific requirements to be addressed while maintaining a uniform and cohesive group-wide solution.

“The selection process gave us the chance to really see how the Board platform and project teams would work with us day to day. Board and bdg showed a genuine commitment to understanding our needs, which gave us the confidence to move forward together,” said Jens Niessner, Member of Executive Board (CFO) of the NETZSCH Group.

The collaboration between NETZSCH, Board, and bdg will focus on building a flexible, scalable forecasting framework that meets the needs of both the central controlling and finance team and individual business sectors. Technically speaking, data collection and forecasting are being consolidated on the Board platform – to ensure that NETZSCH’s decision making will be based on improved forecasting processes and enhanced transparency over its three business units, as well as an aggregated group level.

“We are delighted to welcome NETZSCH as a new customer. In today’s world of volatile markets and constant disruptions, up-to-date, continuous planning is essential to quickly respond to customer needs and market changes,” said Björn Stauss, Country Manager DACH at Board.

This collaboration marks an important step in NETZSCH’s growth strategy, supported by Board and bdg, to build a unified and resilient approach to financial forecasting. For more information, visit www.board.com and www.netzsch.com.
