Company: EnterCard
Industry: Finance

“The reason why we chose Solver is user adoption. We are very familiar with the Microsoft environment. And of course, what Solver provided to us was the ability to have a more efficient forecasting process in an environment that was familiar, strengthening user adoption.”

From Scattered Spreadsheets to One Connected Model
The Problem
EnterCard's finance team managed forecasting and reporting through locally maintained Excel spreadsheets across its Norway, Sweden, and Denmark operations. Each country ran its own budget model, and any change meant updating files individually across locations, creating risk and slowing down every month-end close.
The Solution
EnterCard implemented Solver's Budgeting and Reporting solution, built on Microsoft SQL Server with a familiar Excel interface, alongside its Microsoft Dynamics SL environment. The Excel front end supported adoption across EnterCard's multi-country teams, while data now saves centrally instead of scattered local files.
