A Company's Journey Toward More Efficient Budgeting
The Problem
As Happy Socks grew, more employees took on budgeting responsibility, producing a growing number of disconnected Excel sheets. Finance had to manually consolidate and cross-check the data, a time-consuming task increasingly prone to error.
The Solution
Happy Socks implemented Solver's Budgeting, Forecasting, and Reporting suite with a live link to Microsoft Dynamics NAV, including pre-built templates and a custom model for personnel-related costs. The full deployment, including testing and training, took seven days.
The Result
Happy Socks now runs Solver input templates and reports that update Dynamics NAV in real time, eliminating conflicting spreadsheet versions. The finance team has redirected the time once spent consolidating data toward forecasting and analysis.
