Ainscough Crane Hire have chosen BOARD International; a global provider of Business Intelligence (BI) and Corporate Performance Management (CPM) as their strategic Business Intelligence solution to\u00a0 provide Financial and Operational Reporting and Planning.<\/p>\n\n\n

Recognised as the UK\u2019s largest lifting services company, Ainscough Crane Hire were in need of a solution to remove the constraints of a spreadsheet-based financial reporting system to a solution that could provide flexible, intuitive reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n

With the acquisition of the BOARD platform; Ainscough\u2019s Finance, IT and Operational departments will now have the ability to build dynamic, intuitive reports, which will eliminate room for manual error and provide Ainscough users with a single version of the truth. These real-time insights will enable Ainscough to make better business decisions as they will now be able to accurately monitor key operational performance indicators such as utilisation and the average daily rates based upon timesheets, payroll and invoices, and transactional datasets.<\/p>\n\n\n

Thanks to the unified BI and CPM technology of BOARD, in the near future, Ainscough will also have the functionality to consolidate their final group financial plans using the same software used to provide their reporting solution. BOARD\u2019s single unified approach to BI and CPM has already enabled over 3000 companies to improve their business performance by making better decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tom Parkinson, FP&A Manager at Ainscough Crane Hire says:<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOur business required a reporting solution to help us manage our growth. Following excessive reliance on spreadsheet based models, we needed a solution to link multiple databases for our reporting, forecasting and budgeting whilst maintaining strong controls.\u00a0 From our initial interactions it was clear the BOARD solution was ahead of the market in its capabilities and user-interface.\u00a0 We are looking forward to successful implementation of the solution to enable faster and more informed decisions, at every level of the business, coupled with a more robust and integrated forecasting process.\u00a0 We are very happy to be working with BOARD and are excited at the possibilities for future development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Dominic Policella, Director at BOARD UK adds:<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cAinscough Crane Hire\u2019s decision to choose BOARD shows the true diversity of the solution across all industries. We very much look forward to providing Ainscough Crane Hire with a future-proof platform by which they can make faster, better decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
