Replacing Manual Consolidation with a Self-Sustaining Process
The Problem
Sea to Summit's global entities each ran their own systems and processes, making budgeting and reporting difficult. Before any reporting could begin, a significant amount of consolidation work had to be done manually.
The Solution
Sea to Summit worked with Solver partner Access Analytic to evaluate reporting tools and chose Solver as an all-in-one budgeting and reporting tool. Solver's Excel-like interface felt familiar to the finance team, making adoption straightforward.
The Result
With Solver, Sea to Summit gained a self-sustaining reporting and budgeting process that gives regional business units greater ownership of their numbers, while freeing the corporate finance team to focus on deeper analysis.
