Rodenstock selects Board for Future-proof Financial Planning and Reporting

Board, the Enterprise Planning Platform, today announced that its software will be used by Rodenstock GmbH to streamline financial planning and reporting. Board was selected for this mission-critical project following a comprehensive evaluation process conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

The Rodenstock Group, a leading manufacturer of high-quality biometric lenses, is undergoing a business transformation to better anticipate and react to challenges of a dynamic economic environment. In addition to a new data warehouse based on Microsoft Fabric, Rodenstock is standardizing its planning on the Board Enterprise Planning Platform to ensure the company has the agility and data-driven insights it needs to succeed in an ever-changing business landscape.

“We wanted financial planning software that would integrate well with our SAP and Microsoft Fabric IT environment. Board was the right fit. Plus, it offered a wide range of use cases and a low TCO,”

said Matthias Heinzel, Head of IT and responsible for IT architecture at Rodenstock.

“In a dynamic business environment, we need to be able to manage our company with agility. Board empowered us with the ability to comprehensively integrate all of our financial data—helping to increase transparency and improve decision-making,” added Silke Genersch, Head of Controlling at Rodenstock.

While this partnership aims for long-term success—providing stable financial planning and reporting at Rodenstock—the initial solution will be implemented quickly, with key functions going live by year-end. This will be followed by financial consolidation, which is planned for subsequent deployment.

“We are thrilled Rodenstock selected Board for its financial planning transformation,“ said Jeff Casale, CEO of Board. “Our partnership is an ideal fit—as we are constantly evolving and innovating our platform to empower enterprises like Rodenstock with market-leading, future-proof solutions.”
