the challenge
Founded in 1948, Losch Luxembourg specializes in automotive distribution. Its business is divided into three main areas: import, retail (through 9 dealerships), and services such as rentals and leasing. In 2016, the company decided to redesign its management processes and procedures. One of the decisions the board made was to modernize the company’s financial processes and management. In addition to streamlining consolidation, the board wanted to improve financial reporting, regulatory and statutory compliance, and cash flow optimization. Additionally, board members wanted to implement long-range planning, budgeting, and rolling forecasting.
