About this Talk
Modern finance and commercial teams are under increasing pressure to move faster, collaborate better, and make decisions based on real-time data — yet many organizations are still trapped in spreadsheet chaos, disconnected planning processes, and slow manual workflows.
That challenge became very real for Montego Pet Nutrition, Africa’s largest independent pet food manufacturer. Faced with fragmented rebate planning processes, inconsistent forecasting approaches, and time-consuming spreadsheet-based modeling, the business needed a better way to support Sales, Finance and operational decision-making.
In this exclusive webinar hosted by GrowCFO and Acterys, attendees will hear directly from Nico Botes, Data Platform Manager at Montego Pet Nutrition, alongside Eric Rehyle from Acterys.
Together, they will explore how Montego transformed rebate planning and scenario modeling using enterprise-grade planning intelligence, real-time write-back and integrated planning capabilities — reducing rebate planning cycles from days to seconds.
Delivered in an engaging Q&A format, the session will cover:
- The operational and financial challenges Montego faced
- The impact of spreadsheet sprawl and disconnected planning
- Why enterprise write-back and real-time modeling mattered
- How Montego approached S&OP and collaborative planning
- The role of Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Acterys
- How the business achieved a “single version of the truth”
- Lessons learned from deployment and adoption
- The measurable business outcomes delivered
- Future AI-ready planning and predictive analytics initiatives
This webinar is ideal for CFOs, Finance Directors, FP&A leaders, CIOs, Data Platform teams, and operational leaders looking to modernize planning, forecasting and sales performance management.
