The Customer
CERNA is a leading environmental consultancy specializing in sustainable forest management. Internationally recognized, it holds forest management and chain-of-custody certifications under the prestigious FSC and PEFC schemes.
With a broad presence in the Iberian Peninsula, CERNA currently manages more than 30,000 hectares in Spain and more than 15,000 hectares in Portugal. It provides essential services to more than 200 companies in both countries, and also stands out for developing its own technology tools within R&D projects for the mountain industry value chain.
The challenge
As a technologically advanced organization, CERNA’s main challenge was to optimize its internal processes and services. The company needed a solution that would allow full integration of its processes, especially the connection between its in-house developed vertical fieldwork platforms and a centralized management system.
The complexity of managing multiple large-scale projects demanded a level of strict control that the previous tools did not offer in a unified way, making the transition to a more robust and flexible digital ecosystem vital.
”To improve and optimize the company's internal services and processes, it was essential to integrate all processes through the Sage X3 solution.
Oscar Expósito - Director Ejecutivo de Cerna
The INCENTEA solution
To meet these challenges, INCENTEA implemented the Sage X3 management software, the solution chosen by CERNA, based on three pillars:
- Project Management Module (PJM): Essential for detailed analytical control, ensuring project-by-project management and exhaustive tracking of budgeted costs versus final costs.
- 100% web technology: An indispensable requirement to ensure mobility, accessibility and operational efficiency.
- Integration capability: The flexibility of Sage X3 to integrate with specialized vertical solutions for the forestry sector was a decisive factor.
Results
The implementation of Sage X3 enabled CERNA to reach a new level of operational excellence through rigorous analytical accounting, facilitating detailed financial management of each project and the immediate identification of deviations between planned budget and actual execution.
This control is reinforced by process unification, which seamlessly integrates fieldwork technology solutions with the organization’s administrative and financial workflows, eliminating information silos.
With this solid digital infrastructure, CERNA strengthened its effectiveness in managing projects in the Iberian Peninsula, always maintaining full compliance with the rigorous standards required by international certifications.
