About Flender
Industry: Mechanical Engineering
"We move the world" — Flender's guiding principle for more than 120 years. As a leading international manufacturer of mechanical and electrical drive systems, Flender offers a broad range of gearboxes, couplings, generators, and related services.
Following its separation from the Siemens Group, Flender needed to establish independent IT governance across its global operations spanning wind energy, cement, raw material processing, oil and gas, power generation, water management, maritime operations, cranes, and material handling.
The Challenge
- Transformation requirements following separation from Siemens
- Managing a complex global matrix organizational structure
- Eliminating Excel-dependent planning processes
- Lack of integrated resource and headcount planning
- No transparency over cost types and budgets
- Limited involvement of service and project managers in planning
The Solution
- Bee360 Financial Management for cost transparency
- Portfolio Management for global project coordination
- Architecture Management for system landscape optimization
- Integration of 3 SAP systems (Germany, China, India)
- Implementation of rolling forecast for continuous planning
