Initial situation
Kärcher was faced with the challenge of optimizing the previously time-consuming, Excel-based process for planning personnel costs. The conventional approach was extremely time-consuming and required extensive coordination work as well as considerable effort for data preparation. The need for transparent and seamlessly integrated operational personnel cost planning was identified. It was important to be able to carry out planning with integrated HR data from SAP HR systems.
In order to efficiently manage these future planning requirements, Kärcher opted for the CubeServ PeoplePLAN SaaS solution. This was connected directly to SAP HCM and SAP SuccessFactors via the existing interfaces in order to avoid manual data maintenance.
Project goals
Kärcher has defined the following project objectives:
- Integration of personnel and financial objectives into operational workforce planning in order to ensure targeted control of resources.
- Monthly generation of planning data based on current actual values to ensure maximum accuracy in the planning processes.
- Implementation of a standardized tool for operational planning of FTE, headcount and costs, for efficient management and employee resources.
- Standardization of the planning processes, the responsibilities of the planning teams involved and the resources to be planned in order to minimize time losses and information gaps.
- The provision of an intuitive web interface with integrated reporting functionality to enable user-friendly, web-based workforce planning.
- Comprehensive support for all planning managers through decentralized planning resources.
Result and benefit
- Process standardization and increased efficiency in workforce planning workflows.
- Effortless and decentralized workforce planning via the web-based personnel action planner in PeoplePLAN. This planning is extremely detailed and takes place at employee level.
- Simplification of planning through automatic rolling updates based on actual values.
- Consideration of predefined global control parameters.
- All those responsible for planning have controlled access to reliable data and planning results, which leads to fast and well-founded decisions.
- The documentation of each individual personnel measure increases transparency for central personnel controlling.
Added value of the PeoplePLAN SaaS solution:
In summary, Kärcher has now implemented an extremely powerful, transparent and standardized solution for workforce planning.
In addition, the company is able to benefit from a flexible IT infrastructure that can be used immediately without any additional effort. This development enables Kärcher to carry out efficient action planning and use resources more effectively, allowing the company to achieve its strategic goals even better.
