ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
“BOSCH introduced the Optravis TP management tool in one division in 2019. The positive experiences led to the decision to introduce Optravis in the BOSCH Group worldwide in 2020. In the meantime, further functionalities are being designed and introduced during the further implementation in order to arrive at a continuous digital end-to-end solution in the TP management process with Optravis. From the experience of the individual project phases as well as different roll-out and go-live phases, the high flexibility and speed of the Optravis TP management tool is particularly noteworthy. The high degree of automation, the intelligence and competence in the logics and rules available in the system are essential guarantees for achieving an effective and efficient tool solution. Likewise, the service and advice provided by the entire Optravis team is unique. A corresponding team of experts with a great deal of competence is always actively available to provide advice and support on all issues. With the Optravis TP Management tool, an essential building block in our internal TAX Risk Management System (TAX-ICS) is achieved in the BOSCH Group to sustainably ensure TAX compliance in the transfer pricing area in BOSCH. All this confirms our decision to use the Optravis TP management tool and shows again and again the high and for me personally unique competence of Optravis in the OTP market.”

HEAD OF TRANSFER PRICING,
CLARIANT INTERNATIONAL AG
“In 2013 we automated our operational transfer pricing process by replacing all manual processes, E-mail TP negotiations and several Excel files by the TP Management Tool which is today owned by Optravis. With this digital solution we could streamline our global operational transfer pricing process, integrate with SAP, achieve global consistency and transparency in TP methods. Finally, the automated P&L segmentation provides us with transparency in the margins throughout the year and enables steering of transfer prices while taking into account forecasts and business insights to achieve TP compliant results. Beside the OTP Process the strengths of Optravis are their expertise in controlling processes, supply chain, and TP models which enables them to customize the solution according to our needs. We are very happy that we can handle complex topics and industry specific issues in the tool such as double resale minus method, distribution hubs, recipes, batches, differences between IFRS, and local GAAP etc. We highly appreciate ongoing TP support received from Optravis which is really first-class.”
Sung Krasny
TRANSFER PRICING MANAGER,
ZENTIS FRUTCHWELT GMBH & CO KG
“Due to the expansion of the Zentis Group, the associated increase in intercompany transfer pricing charges as well as the stricter transfer pricing requirements, we decided to optimize and automate our transfer pricing processes. Searching for a software solution, we found in Optravis a software provider that precisely meets our tax and controlling requirements in terms of displaying our sometimes complex transfer pricing issues, optimizing our processes, increasing the degree of automation and connecting to our systems (SAP). In addition to the software that could be individually customized to our needs, we also gained a partner who, as experienced experts in the field of transfer pricing, not only supported us during the software implementation, but also acted as a sparring partner for the restructuring of our transfer pricing approaches as well as for general transfer pricing questions. The implementation of the service charge tool was quick and easy. The Optravis service charge tool, which offers a user-friendly frontend and high reliability, has pushed our transfer pricing into the next level of digitalization.”
