Data Story – Buchard Voyages modernizes its financial management with Harmonee, Solver and Power BI

Buchard Voyages is the leading provider of road passenger transport in French-speaking Switzerland. Its 120 employees and around thirty vehicles serve 100,000 annual customers.

Financial Reporting

The Harmonee platform serves as a central data hub, harmonizing and integrating information from key applications that drive business processes. The Solver software then extracts the financial data to consolidate and optimize the monthly closing process. Its real-time analysis features enable responsive and detailed management control. Power BI, on the other hand, handles the production and distribution of reporting. The integration of these different solutions ensures both reliable and efficient data utilization, along with business-specific functionalities for the CFO Office. Success Stories

Financial Consolidation

A module of the Solver solution manages intercompany eliminations as well as the entry of adjustments and consolidation entries (RPC/CO).

Budgeting Process

Based on reporting data, the Solver solution enables, when the time comes, the initiation of the budgeting or forecasting process. The centralized input forms structure and secure the data collection, while automating it as much as possible by incorporating historical data and management or calculation rules. The synchronized IT reconciliation with actual data thus engages budget managers in their requests and budget control.

HR Module

The HR module transforms employee data into actionable insights by tracking vacations, overtime, and absenteeism with individual granularity. It provides managers with a clear view to analyze financial impacts and adjust their decisions. They can thus anticipate recruitment needs by department and evaluate the budgetary impacts.

Ambition

Access quicker analyses, with much finer granularity than Excel, refining decision-making. Unify and centralize all analytical reports while ensuring rigorous management of access rights. Success Stories

Challenge

The main challenge was to integrate, control, and centralize financial information while ensuring relevant and suitable analysis granularity.

Solver transforms financial data into strategic decisions

Solver offers a flexible start with a limited number of licenses and an attractive pricing model. Its seamless integration with Excel and Power BI, strengthened by a strategic partnership with Microsoft, makes it an obvious and accessible solution for Finance teams.

I take away two key outcomes from this collaboration: the complementarity of the team between the technical leader for the architecture part and the business consultant acting as a data analyst, as well as the acceptance of the solution by the teams.
