About The Customer
Renewi PLC was created in 2017 by the merger of UK-based Shanks Group PLC and Netherlands-based Van Gansewinkel Groep B.V. It is a leading waste-to-product business collecting and recycling waste to energy and fuel, paper, metal, plastic, glass, woodchips compost and other products. Of the 14 million tons of waste handled per year, 89% is either recycled or used for energy recovery. The organization operates in the Netherlands, Belgium, UK, France and Portugal and is headquartered in Milton Keynes UK. Renewi generates more than €1.8B in annual revenue.
The Challenge
Creating innovative renewables, Renewi is the leading waste-to-product organization in the Benelux. With more than 7,000 employees, Renewi operates through five business units in their organizational structure. Formed from the result of a merger, Renewi was faced with the challenge of integrating two sets of reporting processes and two legacy CPM systems: Infor PM10 and Longview. With six main data sources, including Exact, JD Edwards, Metacom, Agresso, Navision, Pegasus and Excel®, Renewi was spending too much time manually managing data. The company was in urgent need of a solid tool to streamline statutory and management reporting. “Our CPM systems and processes were not fit for the future — both were dated, cumbersome and inefficient,” said John Wiericx, Reporting Manager Benelux at Renewi. “Creating full consolidated group numbers was a very manual process, and we had limited support for budgets and forecasts and analysis.”
The Solution
Renewi was in search of a modern, future-proofed CPM solution to support the ambitions of the entire organization. “We wanted a powerful tool that would bring together group reporting for all our business units in one system. We needed to optimize reporting processes to create better insights and save time.” Renewi evaluated a long list of 10 vendors before selecting their final two contenders: OneStream and CCH Tagetik. OneStream provided Renewi four customer references. After speaking with real OneStream users, Renewi was thrilled about the positive feedback in relation to strategic fit, functional relevance, ease of use and implementation experience. “We originally considered Tagetik to be on par with OneStream. But when we went into the details of our consolidation functionality and how we handle intercompany reconciliations, there was no comparison,” said Wiericx. “OneStream was capable of delivering consolidation, reporting, budgets, forecasts, non-financial analytics and so much more from a single platform.” The OneStream project started with Concentric Solutions as Renewi’s implementation partner. Renewi had a desire for simplicity, while also fulfilling their need to manage complexity and change. Core requirements for the project included aligning group-wide processes and practices and designing an integrated data model with multidimensional analysis. The first phase of the project focused on management reporting and ad-hoc analysis. This included group, divisional and regional reporting with the capability for comparatives against budget and forecast. OneStream was set up for analysis by cost center, intercompany matching and eliminations, and direct data loads from Renewi’s six source systems.

Water Treatment Energy Management
Water pumping, treatment and conveyance are among the largest energy and cost outlays for many local and regional municipalities. Electricity time-of-use rates and peak pricing tariffs are driving those costs even higher. This case study describes how Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency (MRWPCA) implemented a process data monitoring and control solution in order to analyze and optimize energy use, reduce deployment costs and save operational expenses.

A SMART SOLUTION FOR A CIRCULAR ECONOMY
A detailed study conducted by a student from Universidad Pontificia Comillas ICAI in Spain highlighted the need for ecologically safe and sustainable products. While recycling plays an important role in the circular economy, many consumers don’t recycle for a variety of reasons, including lack of space, inconveniently located recycling centers and collection containers, or distrust and/or disbelief in the recycling process. Organizations needed a model that made recycling easier and more accessible for everyone.
