Case Study

Full transparency for global HR controlling at Rauch Fruchtsäfte with PeoplePLAN

Rauch fruit juices

Rauch Fruchtsäfte is a leading international manufacturer of fruit juices and other soft drinks with headquarters in Austria. The family business was founded in 1919 as a small trading company for agricultural products and today operates in more than 100 countries worldwide and is a sponsor of Formula 1.

Initial situation

Before the start of the project, international HR planning for Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the USA was mainly based on Excel spreadsheets and SAP HCM. However, this process was very time-consuming as it required extensive preparation, implementation and post-processing. Due to the increasingly flexible requirements during the planning phase, this manual process had reached its limits.

It was difficult to carry out personnel planning on time, particularly in the case of short-term strategy adjustments.

Project goals

Overall, the introduction of the system should contribute to better control of personnel costs, increased efficiency in the planning process and well-founded personnel decisions based on real-time data.

Rauch Fruchtsäfte has defined the following project objectives:

  • Creating transparency about HR costs
  • Identification of causes for cost fluctuations and increases
  • Harmonization of the overall planning process
  • Faster throughput times for planning
  • More effective personnel planning through better assessment of personnel requirements and deployment of the right resources
  • Better decision-making through important information on personnel costs and the impact of personnel decisions
  • Cost optimization by reducing the cost of overtime or the number of employees per department or project
Realization of the project

The project was implemented in a short period of three months. The project team was made up of employees from the CO and HR departments. The project was carried out pragmatically and quickly in order to achieve the goal within the specified timeframe.

Close collaboration and clear responsibilities within the team promoted efficiency and ensured that the project was implemented on target and on schedule. Regular coordination and testing helped to keep the overall goal in view and ensured that the project was successfully implemented at every stage.

Result and benefit

The new personnel cost planning system has led to greater transparency and efficiency in personnel work at Rauch Fruchtsäfte. By implementing PeoplePLAN, the company has been able to automate and standardize processes, saving both time and costs in planning.

In addition, personnel costs and budgets can now be planned and managed more precisely. As a result, resources can be better deployed and reliable long-term personnel decisions can be made.

“Within just 3 months, we implemented an integrated personnel cost planning solution together with CubeServ, which means that personnel controlling can now plan very easily – and in the shortest possible time”
