How Boozt Transformed FP&A for Smarter, Faster Decisions

Goal & Challenge

As Boozt continued to grow and set more ambitious financial targets, the finance team's existing FP&A process, largely built and managed in Excel, became increasingly inefficient and difficult to scale. To support the growth strategy and drive better decision-making, the company needed a robust, centralised FP&A tool.

Solution

Boozt wanted to work with a partner that had proven experience in implementing Pigment. VantagePoint adopted a structured and collaborative delivery approach designed to ensure transparency, speed and alignment across every stage of the project, connecting all FP&A data into one centralised platform.

Results

• Planning cycles cut from weeks to days with Pigment automation
• One connected workspace unifying finance, HR and operations data
• Real-time insight into revenue, workforce and costs
• Monthly forecasts completed with minimal manual effort
• Analysts now focus on strategic analysis, not data maintenance
• A flexible model built to evolve with Boozt's growth

Scaling ambitions: overcoming FP&A inefficiencies

Boozt is a leading Nordic online retailer headquartered in Malmö. The company primarily serves the Scandinavian market but has expanded its reach to customers across Europe. Founded in 2011, Boozt has grown rapidly, becoming a prominent name in online fashion retail.

As Boozt continued to grow and set more ambitious financial targets, the finance team's existing FP&A process, largely built and managed in Excel, became increasingly inefficient and difficult to scale.

While Excel offered flexibility in the early stages, it lacked the structure and automation needed to support a fast-growing business. The team struggled with version control, data consistency and manual updates, limiting their ability to focus on value-added analysis.

Managing and updating the models often fell to one person during each budgeting and forecasting cycle.

Choosing the right implementation partner

Boozt wanted to work with a partner that had proven experience in implementing the Pigment FP&A tool. They needed more than technical expertise; they wanted a team that understood the demands of FP&A in a fast-growing e-commerce business.

A structured, collaborative delivery

Once engaged, VantagePoint adopted a structured and collaborative delivery approach designed to ensure transparency, speed and alignment across every stage of the project. The team:

• Conducted detailed discovery sessions to assess Boozt's existing planning models, data flows and reporting requirements.
• Delivered targeted demonstrations of Pigment, illustrating how specific modules could automate forecasting, workforce planning and operational reporting.
• Defined a clear project scope, mapping data sources, integration needs, use cases and delivery timelines to ensure alignment on expectations and outcomes.
• Built and refined the solution iteratively, incorporating feedback from Boozt's FP&A team to validate logic, usability and performance.
• Performed comprehensive user testing, training and final adjustments prior to go-live to guarantee adoption and continuity.

Smarter, faster planning

With Boozt's FP&A team now using a centralised, connected platform, they have gained better control, more accurate data and more efficient planning workflows. The team saw real value in the solution very early on, modelling the impact of strategic headcount changes in just a few days instead of weeks.

Pigment's agility has enabled the team to respond quickly to business needs. Having a flexible and scalable planning platform has improved their ability to plan proactively, align across teams and support faster, data-driven decision-making across the organisation.

They now have a higher level of data granularity, allowing them to drill into specific cost drivers and performance metrics with ease. Monthly forecasting requires minimal manual effort, a task that was previously time-consuming and difficult to manage in Excel.

Time-saving features and functions

• Real-time dashboards providing instant visibility into key metrics and trends.
• Automated data flows removing the need for manual uploads and reconciliation.
• Scenario modelling tools allowing teams to test assumptions and forecast outcomes in minutes.
• Integrated collaboration ensuring finance, HR and operations teams work from the same data.
