This national grocery chain faced a challenge in managing its complex and growing spreadsheet models for financial planning and forecasting. The existing process was a roadblock to timely analysis, and packaged solutions required abandoning their valuable spreadsheet assets. They turned to A3 Solutions and its A3 Modeling platform to resolve this.

The solution involved implementing A3 Modeling to extend their existing Excel models into a centralized, automated enterprise system. A3 Solutions designed cubes that preserved business logic, allowing over 300 users to plan expenses and store sales in real-time within familiar Excel interfaces. This provided a single source of truth, dramatically sped up budgeting cycles, and delivered a solid return on investment with minimal maintenance required.
