Thomas Jacob

Thomas Jacob Director Application Segment ipoque GmbH

The Solution

Astotec Automotive GmbH

Astotec Automotive GmbH

Automotive industry

How a worldwide operating pyrotechnic solutions provider for the automotive and non-automotive industry gains the highest transparency by implementing a "single point of information" and professionalizing its project and portfolio management.

DI Mathias Pflügl

Planforge is our "single source of project data" and gives us the best possible transparency across all projects.

DI Mathias Pflügl Director of PMO Astotec Automotive GmbH


The Challenge

Before Planforge was involved, every other project plan looked different, and sometimes the up-to-dateness of the project plans was not guaranteed. Astotec struggled with non-transparent information, and project data was almost hidden in project directories. The simplest portfolio management was realized via a self-built Access project database only.

The Solution

All portfolio analysis features provided by the Access project database could be realized with Planforge very quickly in the same way. Astotec has received the highest transparency through a stable system. Or, as they call it, "Single Point of Information." The awareness of responsibility for updating project data in the system has increased since its implementation and awareness campaign.

The Benefit

With Planforge, Astotec has a professional system to face future challenges. They see this step to multi-project management as an essential element on their way to digitalization.

"Planforge combines high functionality with ease of use."

Jan Balbach-Sobkowicz Program Manager indie Semiconductor FFO GmbH


The Challenge

indie Semiconductor FFO needed a tool combining integrated resource management with project controlling to create a structured project landscape and manage external partners. The company had previously relied on tools such as Excel for project management and time and cost tracking, which could no longer meet its growing requirements.

The Solution

Thanks to Planforge, indie Semiconductor FFO now benefits from a clear overview of all projects, programs, and portfolios. Using scenario planning and the timeline, the company now makes more informed decisions. The combination of resource management and project controlling allows the company to analyze resources and budgets and monitor project progress efficiently.

The Benefit

indie Semiconductor FFO can now manage internal and external projects in one tool. The company particularly values manageability, high functionality, and the ability to deploy on-premises. With Planforge, indie Semiconductor FFO gains transparency throughout the entire project process.

Health care & Life Sciences

How a worldwide operating order optimizes its project planning and controlling in more than ten healthcare institutions in Austria.

Read complete success story

The Challenge

Started projects got closed after a while but were poorly managed and controlled. A customized solution for the Barmherzige Brüder's project management did not meet their expectations.

The Solution

Planforge's perennial initiative to achieve an organizational "professionalization of project management" with approved procedures and reports was the right approach. Organizational development + software support = success.

The Benefit

It's effortless for BHB's project managers to create the work breakdown structure. The prioritization of projects can take place in portfolio management. The portfolio management profits from reliable reports, which allow an overview of all portfolios on facility and province-level (i.e., company and holding level).
