Efficient action tracking in restructuring projects with BlackMarlin
The challenge of restrucutring projects
Restructuring projects often face a fundamental challenge: the large number of measures and their financial impacts must be recorded, monitored, and managed precisely. In many companies, this is still done using Excel spreadsheets maintained by different stakeholders. This frequently leads to inconsistencies, a lack of transparency, and inefficient controlling processes.
This is where BlackMarlin comes in. The software solution serves as a central platform for action tracking in restructuring projects. It enables the precise recording, structured analysis, and clear visualisation of all relevant measures and their effects.
BlackMarlin as a central interface
A typical starting point for using BlackMarlin is a consulting project aimed at improving earnings and liquidity. Instead of relying on dispersed documentation and fragmented processes, BlackMarlin provides a single source of truth for all relevant data, thereby sustainably improving data quality.
The solution takes measures already defined in preceding projects and integrates them seamlessly into the central reporting process. This eliminates the need for additional data entry and allows the company to focus immediately on implementation and monitoring.
Three core areas: planning, design and monitoring
BlackMarlin supports the entire action-tracking cycle and is structured around three key areas:
-
Planning
- Defining measures and analyzing their financial effects
- Seamlessly integrating existing restructuring initiatives
- Creating action profiles to ensure a consistent and detailed description of each measure
-
Design
- Continuously updating the measures recorded in the reporting system
- Providing a dynamic dashboard for a quick overview of progress and priorities
- Using standardized processes to keep all relevant stakeholders up to date
-
Monitoring
- Visualizing the status of measures through interactive cockpits
- Transparently displaying financial impacts and integrating them directly into a profit and loss statement
- Using scenario simulations to support well-founded decisions on alternative measures
Transparency across all organizational levels
One of BlackMarlin’s key advantages is the ability to track the progress of measures at different levels of detail. The continuous comparison between defined targets and the actual situation plays a crucial role in this process. The software highlights delays and unexpected deviations, enabling users to take corrective action quickly.
Thanks to precise access controls with detailed role and permission settings, confidential information remains protected while effective collaboration across all organizational levels is maintained.
