Operational controlling is a set of instruments for managing and safeguarding business processes in the short and medium term. Within a defined period of time, operational controlling is intended to give timely signals in the event of a deviation from the course, to take countermeasures and to provide future-oriented assistance. The aim is to exploit the existing potential for success as fully as possible without damaging or jeopardizing future potential for success.

KPI Reporting (Power BI)
The assessment of operational and strategic purchasing performance on the basis of suitable and meaningful system key figures supports management in achieving medium- to long-term corporate goals
In order to plan, control and evaluate procurement processes in the company, it is necessary that suitable key figures are defined. The key figures create transparency and avoid one-sided views, drawing attention to possible potential for improvement and cost savings. In addition, the key figures are to be used as early warning indicators for future opportunities and risks.
Not only with a well-established purchasing controlling, but also with the right key figures and targets that fit your purchasing strategy, we support you in the further development of the entire purchasing. Our customers increasingly use a purchasing dashboard, which aggregates all important purchasing key figures in a visually appealing way.
Our Power BI business dashboards can be used by any company. The dashboards work regardless of whether you use complex ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Dynamics BC, Sage), operational applications and separate financial accounting (e.g. DATEV, Diamant, Hamburger Software) or just Excel to manage your business.
Productivity Management

Alongside innovation and growth, productivity is an important lever for securing a company's business success.
