GEFCO is using HYPERION ESSBASE as its solution for budgeting, forecasting and actuals reporting. GEFCO entrusted METHYS with the realization of a Scoping Study and a detailed analysis of important evolutions of its budgeting model. The main objective of the evolutions was to start rationalizing and homogenizing the budgeting practices and tools. Based on the conclusion of the study, GEFCO decided to put METHYS in charge of the second phase: the implementation of the evolutions into the current model. The mission allowed GEFCO to achieve the first stages of its ‘continuous improvement plan’ aiming at modernizing its budgeting practice.

ITRON entrusted METHYS with the design, the implementation and the maintenance of its industrial planning system based on HYPERION PLANNING technology. This system is mainly used by supply-chain managers, demand managers and Sales to formalize the planning process. Based on the principle of a rolling forecast, the solution receives the forecasts from sales managers which are then analysed and adjusted by the industrial planners. The MPS process uses these figures for procurement and investment decisions. The direct result was the improvement of the consistency between sales forecasts, financial forecasts, and industrial planning process, resulting in a reduction of the working capital.
