Industry: Corporates

Factories and headquarters, built next to a business that continues to operate.

Headquarters, plants, R&D centers, and campuses are being established by companies whose core business lies elsewhere. PROBIS manages budgets, forecasts, and commitments for each location within a controlled structure that operates alongside corporate controlling.

GENUINE CORPORATE PROGRAMS ON A TRIAL BASIS
THE CHALLENGES

Why Construction Projects Within the Group Use Two Systems.

Investment projects compete with the core business
A new plant, headquarters, or laboratory is rarely the company’s primary focus. Project teams report to a management accounting department that expects figures to be presented in its own format and according to its own schedule.
ERP and the Construction Site: Two Books
Financial data is managed in the ERP system, while construction is tracked through project reports. Without a common structure, the budget, commitments, and actual costs do not align.
Many locations, many reporting practices
Each plant, each campus, and each subsidiary reports in its own way. A consolidated view begins with someone manually reconciling the formats.
Portfolio-wide expenses, visible only in retrospect
Without real-time visibility into the investment program, schedule and budget risks do not become apparent until the end of the quarter—not when they can still be managed.
THE PLATFORM

From the initial estimate to handover.

Calculate, Contract, Control, and Manage organize budgets, forecasts, and commitments for each location within a single structure and consolidate all locations into a portfolio view.
