BIC is a family-owned group with sales of 2 billion euros in the stationery, lighters and shavers markets.

Cécile Piquard, Business Project Director, and Anis Tounsi, GBS & Finance Projects Senior Manager, in charge of the FP&A project, were tasked with building a budget quickly, accurately and reliably, and connecting it to other systems. They chose to explore innovative solutions, enabling them to work more uniformly.

However, the international aspect of the project meant that the budget construction tool had to retain all the necessary responsiveness and flexibility.
