Case Study
How we established a future-ready data and finance foundation for a business operating at a global scale.
- Healthcare
- Pharmaceutical
Minerva Partners partnered with a rapidly expanding global healthcare group to unify financial and operational data across more than 60 entities worldwide, replacing manual, Excel-driven processes with a scalable, integrated reporting and planning environment. Delivered over multiple phases across several years, the engagement reflects an ongoing transformation rather than a single implementation.
Following significant growth and multiple acquisitions, the group had evolved into a highly complex organisation spanning pharmaceuticals, wellness, and healthcare services. Each entity operated independently, with different systems, accounting standards, and financial years, as well as disconnected data sources across multiple geographies.
Plus (as is common with large organisations), heavy reliance on Excel and manual processes
As a result:
- Month-end reporting was slow, manual, and resource-intensive
- Financial consolidation required significant coordination and iteration
- Data visibility across the group was limited
Critically, the problem was increasing, and continued growth meant the existing approach would become unsustainable.
While the engagement is ongoing, early adoption of previously-delivered solutions has already demonstrated clear value, including:
- A significant portion of group data is now integrated and accessible in one place
- Manual data consolidation has been substantially reduced
- Finance teams can access key information at the click of a button
With the go-live of further work imminent, the organisation is positioned to scale its reporting and planning capabilities alongside continued growth and extend visibility into customer and channel performance.
Overall, the project has established a future-ready data and finance foundation for a business operating at a global scale.
