porta corporate group
“For the porta furniture business group, real estate administration and accounting is a major challenge due to the quantity and variety of uses. With our consulting partner consenso, we have succeeded in implementing commercial real estate management and utilities statement based on SAP RE-FX. In particular, we have been able to efficiently automate several processes by integrating SAP FI.
We are convinced and impressed of the specialist knowledge of consenso’s consultants and their ability to quickly adapt to customer needs as well as the committed and pragmatic project approach.”
