How Altora AG Built a Strong Forecasting Foundation with Solver
Company: Altora AG
Industry: Agribusiness
ERP: SAP Business One
Use Case: Planning & Forecasting
“The first phase of the Solver project was a whirlwind. Our new shareholders wanted reliable financial and operational forecasts, like yesterday. We couldn't produce what they needed with the systems we had. With high stakes and a short deadline, I chose Solver and FUJIFILM MicroChannel because I trusted them to deliver, and they did.”
Maurice Felizzi, Chairman, Altora AG
From Scattered Systems to a Single Source of Truth
The Problem
Altora Ag was running an older accounting system and Excel spreadsheets across multiple, disconnected business units, including farming, inventory, transportation, and grain trading. Following recent mergers and expansion, the company lacked the enterprise-wide visibility it needed to forecast accurately and support new shareholders' reporting requirements.
The Solution
Solver and implementation partner FUJIFILM MicroChannel connected each line-of-business system into a single Solver Data Warehouse, replacing several legacy systems at once with a future-proof data model, backed by data standardization and governance so new systems can be added as the business grows.
The Result
With Solver in place, Altora Ag's finance team can enter crop plans, expected rainfall, and input costs, and generate a budget in minutes instead of weeks, for each property, crop, and business unit. Leadership now gets the fast, reliable forecasts needed to support new shareholders' decisions.
