Client overview

The challenge
Desired Performence
In the HR department of Pernod Ricard Germany, personnel costs and key figures were recorded manually, mainly using Excel spreadsheets. This approach was very time-consuming and prone to errors, leading to delayed and inconsistent reports. Data was collected from various sources, making it difficult to access up-to-date information and delaying decision-making. Therefore, the HR department needed an automated and centralized solution to efficiently plan and evaluate personnel costs.

The solution
Esther Genrich, Compensation & Benefits Manager HR-Controlling
The HICO-Group implemented a Jedox solution, providing Pernod Ricard Germany with a centralized, automated platform for HR reporting and personnel cost planning. With Jedox, data from various sources was integrated and consolidated
into a central system. The solution enabled precise and efficient analysis of personnel costs and reduced the error rate that previously occurred with manually created Excel spreadsheets.
By automating reporting and analysis processes, manual effort was significantly reduced, and the HR department could make well-informed decisions more quickly.
Future Outlook
The next steps involve expanding HR reporting by adding Jedox Excel Add-ins with web reports. Additionally, the goal is to extend the Jedox platform to HR controlling in Austria and Switzerland to enable consistent use in other countries.
