Against a backdrop of sustained growth and increasingly complex organisational structures, Schiever Group has undertaken a transformation of its financial performance management processes in order to implement modern financial planning capable of supporting its long-term development. To address these challenges, the group chose the Amelkis EPM solution to bring its consolidation work in-house and enhance its reliability.
Founded more than 150 years ago, Schiever Group is a family-owned, independent player in large-scale retail. It employs nearly 8,000 people and operates more than 200 sites in France and Poland. Faced with the growing number of entities to consolidate and the need for a more detailed financial view, management sought to implement a scalable tool aligned with its growth strategy.
The project, led by Bertrand Bourgeois, member of the Management Board, and Joaquim Tavares, Group Consolidation Director, was intended in particular to bring financial consolidation in-house. Thanks to Amelkis EPM, the group is now able to consolidate around 300 sites and approximately one hundred companies, while incorporating a site-level level of detail. The solution also provides a modern environment designed to integrate effectively with the office tools used daily by finance teams.
Beyond the operational benefits, this choice forms part of a broader initiative to modernise performance management. By relying on modern financial planning, Schiever Group is improving the reliability of its data, enhancing the clarity of its results and establishing a robust foundation to support its future strategic decisions.
According to Bertrand Bourgeois, “Amelkis appeared to be the tool best suited to Schiever Group’s growth strategy,” highlighting the alignment between the solution’s capabilities and the group’s ambitions.
