The project
STARTING POSITION
Before implementing calcIT, the Manz AG calculated with an Excel spreadsheet. This tool offered no interfaces with other up- or downstream systems. Thus, calculations were tied to a huge manual effort. However, since the company operates in a dynamic environment, it is important for Many to rapidly react to changes. Through a high level of flexibility and the rapid adjustability of calcIT, the offer calculation at Manz was made more transparent and simpler, and was largely automated.
Specific requirements
The Manz AG now benefits from a number of functions. For example, Excel reports with graphics, quantity changes through the manipulation rule, illustration of an authorization workflow, or implementation of different views (view sets) for different members of staff. Moreover, the tool was set up for global use.
The added benefits of our solution
Efficient and transparent calculation process through master libraries and predefined building groups
Basis for re-calculation through interface with SAP system
All stakeholders can view and edit the calculation in a central space
Coherent processes and central data filing simplifies the communication with subsidiaries
