About Berner Group 

BERNER Group is a European trading company for professionals in the mobility, construction and industrial sectors, operating in 23 countries across Europe.

The Challenge 

BERNER Group implemented Workday Human Capital Management and Workday Prism to consolidate HR and business performance data. 

As a piece of critical business infrastructure, BERNER Group needed the ability to seamlessly implement changes, updates and expansions. However, manual testing processes and a complex organisational structure made this required agility a challenge. 

The Solution 

To maximise efficiency and reduce testing effort, BERNER Group adopted Kainos Smart Test. Putting automation at the core of their implementation delivered complete confidence, security and compliance from day one. The Kainos team supported throughout this journey to help deliver maximum value.  

“Smart Test gave us confidence, security and reduced effort in testing which increased efficiency in our test cycles. It supports us as we look past implementation to full go live in 23 countries.”
