For the project's first delivery
The challenges of fragmented financial management
Batibig produced its management reporting solely on Excel. This way of working was time-consuming and poorly connected to accounting. Before the project, three obstacles weighed on financial management:
-
Time-consuming processes
For creating management reports. -
Limited connectivity
With accounting tools. -
No automation
Because everything relied on Excel.
In the last quarter of 2025, the group therefore launched an EPM tender. The executive management had two objectives. First, a tool capable of accommodating other modules in the future. Second, a single communication tool.
Batibig team testimonial
“We found ourselves with extremely time-consuming processes for creating our management reports, solely on Excel, no automation and therefore very little connectivity with our accounting tools.”
Choosing the Pigment and MeltOne partnership for management reporting
Pigment: computing power and user autonomy
- A collaborative tool that is simple to use. Financial control, management control, and operations teams adopt it easily.
- A flexible tool. It integrates the constraints of operations teams, the requirements of shareholders, and those of banks.
MeltOne: a partner involved from the tender stage
Batibig selected MeltOne for three reasons:
- Recognized expertise: MeltOne is among the pioneers of Pigment in France.
- An ability to meet deadlines, with real proactive proposals.
- A good team fit, which allowed us to go faster and further.
The process: a Pigment deployment in two phases
MeltOne started with a common foundation in December 2025. The project aimed for initial results in early February. The timeline was therefore tight. Here are the key steps:
-
The common foundation (December 2025)
This phase allows understanding of Batibig’s processes and structure. It precedes any deployment. -
Phase 1: P&L-oriented financial reporting
MeltOne handled 100% of the implementation in Pigment. -
Phase 2: non-financial KPIs and other financial reports
This phase covers the balance sheet and DSO. It was completed in co-implementation with Batibig teams. -
Skills development
Management controllers, then operational managers, learned to use Pigment
“What impressed us most was how easily the management control teams, but also the operational managers, developed their skills. They make Pigment their daily management platform. Today, Batibig’s management control team is fully autonomous to maintain the application and implement changes requested by its operations teams.”
Concrete results: 20 to 25% time saved at month-end close
Batibig produces its figures faster and with greater reliability. Teams analyze more and produce less.
Batibig team testimonial
“With Pigment’s implementation in our organization today, we’ve gone even further than we wanted. We’ve probably saved 20 to 25% of our time on monthly closes, which was historically dedicated to pure data production. But now, we can use this time for analysis.”
Next steps: budgeting, consolidation, and AI
Batibig is extending its EPM project across several areas:
- Short term: a budgeting module in management reporting.
- Longer term: statutory consolidation and human resources topics.
- Right now, with AI: MeltOne is supporting the exploration of use cases in Pigment.
For example, the analyst agent produces ad hoc analyses. AI also helps model budget preparation and payroll management.
Key takeaways:
-
Automated management reporting
In a single tool: Pigment. -
20 to 25% time saved
On monthly closes. -
A project launched in December 2025
With initial results in early February. -
Autonomous teams
From management control to operations. -
A foundation ready to evolve
Toward budgeting, consolidation, and AI.
