Flexible support for diversified activities of Svenska Mässan and Gothia Towers 

When Svenska Mässan (The Swedish Exhibition and Congress Centre) evaluated solutions for performance management they had a strong focus on flexibility. The requirements from Svenska Mässan's various lines of business like trade fairs, conferences, hotels, and restaurants are very different. With Mercur they could get support for both project-based planning and monitoring for trade fairs and conferences, and the day-to-day based hotel and restaurant activities.Svenska Mässan benefits greatly from the calculation module for trade fairs that helps to plan everything from visitors and staff to the square meters of the exhibition floor. It also provides important support to count on the synergy effect of an event that contributes to greater occupancy for the Gothia Towers hotel and restaurants. Naturally, Mercur Business Control also provides support for the other parts of the budgeting and forecasting processes, with the appreciated special module for personnel budgeting and the calculation of standard costs in the hotel and restaurants.

At Svenska Mässan Mercur Business Control is integrated with the ERP system Visma and Svenska Mässan's HR system. Svenska Mässan has invested a lot in training their staff in Mercur Business Control so they can build their reports and get the maximum out of the system.

 

Svenska Mässan's vision is to become Europe's most attractive venue by offering the best overall experience. Every year, more than 1.8 million people from all over the world come to Svenska Mässan and Gothia Towers to meet, eat and stay, develop business, products, or ideas. The Svenska Mässan provides everything from hotels, shops, theaters, spas and restaurants to the exhibition halls and various meeting venues.
