About Henkell Freixenet
Henkell Freixenet is a family-owned sparkling wine producer with nearly 200 years of history. Its brands include Freixenet, Mionetto, Henkell, i heart WINES and Mangaroca Batida, which are sold in around 150 countries, and it has subsidiaries in 30. The group has grown through merger and has been a Jedox customer since 2012.
Challenge
A static 120-page sales report
With nearly 200 years of history, brands sold in around 150 countries and subsidiaries in 30, Henkell Freixenet needed planning and reporting that could keep pace with a growing, international group.
The company first adopted Jedox in 2012 for consolidation, replacing spreadsheet-based processes, and expanded its use as the group grew through merger. Management reporting, however, still centred on a static 120-page PDF sales report issued twice a month.
Solution
AI-assisted, driver-based forecasting
In late 2022 the group migrated to Jedox Cloud, and the finance team moved on to predictive forecasting and driver-based planning. Jedox AIssisted Planning now provides AI-driven predictions and driver simulations.
More than 150 users across six departments use Jedox for sales planning, demand planning, forecasting, cost control, reporting, consolidation and pricing. The 120-page PDF has been replaced by a dynamic Jedox Canvas dashboard with filters and drill-down by region, brand and product group, which the reporting team built themselves.
Data arrives through Excel uploads, an in-house upload centre and an SAP connector, reducing manual uploading on reporting days, and group companies can access the platform from any time zone.

Outcome
80% fewer work hours each year
Henkell Freixenet has reduced work hours by 80% annually, freeing the team to spend more time on analysis rather than report production.
Using four years of key data, forecast accuracy has reached approximately 91%, and the team expects further gains as more data accumulates. Next steps include middleware across the group and AI-generated default values for driver-based planning.
