Southern Glazer’s operates across 47 U.S. markets and Canada, and each market has to meet both national and local financial reporting requirements. Standard reports had to go out on schedule every cycle, and on top of those, individual markets regularly needed supplemental reports of their own.
Those reports were generated as many separate files, mostly out of custom-built VBA macros, and then had to be combined by hand to meet each market’s requirements. Start to finish, the process could take up to a day every cycle.
Wired directly into the IBM Planning Analytics environment already in place, Reportworq took over distribution, with finance in control of what goes out. Standard reports and the market-specific supplements now build and go out together, not as a string of separate manual outputs. The files that once had to be stitched together by hand now land as a single Excel or PDF file, automatically. Delivery goes out over email or to shared folder locations, the same channels Southern Glazer’s was already using to reach its markets.
Today, more than 100 recipients across 47 U.S. markets and Canada get both their standard and supplemental reporting, and no one has to assemble a single file by hand to make it happen. Information reaches leaders faster and in a consistent format, in hours instead of the days the manual process used to take.
“Reportworq has been a game changer for our reporting operations. Reportworq allows us to generate and distribute consistent standard and supplemental reports based on market needs. Reportworq’s capability to generate a single file from numerous source files is crucial to reporting. It’s become the connective tissue between our Planning Analytics environment and the people who need the data.”
