Integrated planning and reporting with Mercur Business Control at Tekniska verken

Tekniska verken in Linköping implemented Mercur Business Control to support business planning, forecasting, budgeting and reporting.

Tekniska verken sees great advantages in that the system supports both central planning of costs and a process in which line managers can plan expenses, personnel costs, and investments. Users can easily navigate from a scorecard and get a clear picture of both their own planning and centrally allocated costs and revenues.

The system is integrated with both the ERP system IFS and the statutory consolidation system Aaro, so Tekniska verken can use Mercur Business Control for all reporting. With the link to the electronic invoice handling system Basware the solution supports the analysis all the way from the corporate level down to individual transactions and scanned invoices. Among the benefits they are experiencing is a budget process in half the time compared with the previous solution, a reduced number of errors, and the ability to work in parallel with operational and legal monitoring.

Tekniska verken provides electricity networks, lighting, water, district heating, district cooling, waste management, broadband, biogas, and efficient energy solutions. Another area where Tekniska verken is active in the electricity trading business. Tekniska verken's vision is to build the world's most resource-efficient region.
