“We reduced reporting cycles from hours to minutes—while eliminating copy-paste chaos.”

The Catalyst

This long-standing commerce network operator had outgrown its legacy Enterprise Reporting System. Designed for a simpler business model, the system couldn’t scale with the company’s increasing complexity across financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting.

The reporting process was fragmented, requiring separate report runs for each company and complex manual Excel processes to assemble data. Budgeting required tedious manual data consolidation with zero version control, and forecasting was unreliable. The company couldn’t customize reports or load data easily, making agility nearly impossible in a fast-moving digital market.

Why They Chose deFacto

The finance team sought a flexible, enterprise-ready platform that could:

Handle multi-entity reporting in real time
Eliminate Excel link errors and broken formulas
Improve budget versioning and forecast accuracy
Support currency conversion and employee expense forecasting
Empower the team with hands-on report customization

They chose deFacto for its powerful multidimensional engine, Excel-integrated interface, and scalable infrastructure.

The Transformation

With deFacto, the company consolidated its reporting and planning workflows into a single intelligent platform.

Key upgrades included:

Automated Data Loading: One-click ETL process loads data across all entities simultaneously
Real-Time Excel Add-In: Instant reporting without links, formulas, or manual manipulation
Custom Report Builder: Finance team creates their own input schedules and reports tailored to unique business needs
Version & Currency Dimensions: Easy version control and native currency support without external translation steps
Phase Two Rollout: Personnel management data (salary, hiring, benefits) integrated directly into budget forecasting

Key Outcomes

Unified Multi-Entity Reporting done in minutes, not hours

Manual Excel Work Eliminated, reducing risk and boosting reliability

Faster Budget Updates through editable version layers

Employee Expense Forecasting integrated with finance data

Higher Productivity and Focus across finance and operations

Looking Ahead

Following a successful rollout across finance, the company has extended deFacto’s capabilities into personnel management—giving them a complete view of employee-related costs in the context of broader business planning. As the company continues to grow its presence in supply chain, promotions, and healthcare, deFacto gives it the speed, scale, and flexibility to stay ahead of an evolving digital commerce landscape.
