Finance teams are under more pressure than ever to plan faster, so why does pulling together a single trusted number still take days? In this Webinar Masterclass, the team behind one of Africa’s largest pet nutrition businesses shares how they cut rebate planning from days to seconds using Acterys. From spreadsheet dependency and version chaos to single source of truth, governance, and real-time scenario modeling, this session uncovers what it actually takes to modernize planning on top of Microsoft Fabric and Power BI.
Featuring insights from:
🎙️ Eric Reyhle – SVP, Global Alliances, Acterys
🏢 Nico Botha – Data Platform Manager, Montego Pet Nutrition
🏢 Suneil Botha – Montego Pet Nutrition
🎧 Kevin Appleby – COO, Mentor & Podcast Host, GrowCFO
Key discussion points include:
✅ Why spreadsheet-based rebate planning breaks down at scale
✅ Building real-time rebate and what-if scenarios on Microsoft Fabric and Power BI
✅ What “single source of truth” means at the semantic layer, and why it was non-negotiable
✅ Writeback planning that never overwrites source data
✅ Running governed scenarios in the field, in real time, in front of the customer
✅ Lessons learned: what the team would do the same and differently next time
If you’re a CFO, FP&A leader, or finance transformation professional looking to move planning out of spreadsheets and into a governed, real-time environment, this session delivers practical, experience-based insights.
