SKAN and BOARD: an agreement to always be one step ahead

The Swiss company SKAN AG has chosen BOARD for its Business Intelligence needs. Founded in 1968, SKAN is a pioneer in the field of cleanroom equipment and construction of isolators for the pharmaceutical industry. Innovative products, customer-specific solutions as well as a powerful services have led SKAN to be a market leader and major partner of many industries and research laboratories.

SKAN has implemented the BOARD solution for the analysis of income statement (P&L analysis), the balance sheet and key performance indicator analysis (KPI’s). This was made possible thanks to the integration of BOARD with SAP (FI/COPA Modules) which allows data-entry and data-drill directly into Excel.  The solution was implemented in only three months by accredited BOARD partner Acons AG. 

A complex project made easy with BOARD

”BOARD delivered the flexible and robust solution we were looking for at a competitive price. Additionally, BOARD met other very important criteria to us: the ease of use by all of our users from the Finance departments to Administration,” commented Loic Jurvillier, Financial Controller at SKAN. “BOARD has significantly improved the process of analyzing data coming from financial accounting and controlling due to a more efficient representation and interpretation of that data and has greatly reduced the number of manual tasks for all groups at SKAN,” added Jurvillier. “More projects with BOARD are already scheduled for 2015.”

“The collaboration with SKAN further strengthens our presence in Switzerland as we manage to cover an increasingly large number of customers with different implementation requirements,” confirmed BOARD CEO Giovanni Grossi.  Adopted by major international clients such as Acer Europe, Desigual, Bata, DHL, Gigaset, Mitsubishi and the U.S. Navy, BOARD was conceived, designed and built in Switzerland. Our Swiss clients using BOARD for their business decisions include Ricola, Palexpo, Zürcher Hochschule der Kunste (ZHdK) and GF Machining Solutions.”
