Case Study: Pacific Ag Rentals cuts reporting and forecasting cycles by 67% with Acterys

Pacific Ag Rentals cuts reporting and forecasting cycle by 67% with Acterys

Pacific Ag Rentals, a major agricultural equipment rental company, faced significant challenges with its manual, spreadsheet-based processes for sales performance tracking, forecasting, budgeting, and variance reporting. These inefficient methods caused a two-week lag in consolidating data, leaving leadership with stale information. To scale its operations, the company required an enterprise planning solution and turned to its consultant, P3 Adaptive, which recommended the Acterys platform for its Power BI integration.

Working with Acterys, Pacific Ag Rentals implemented a planning solution with write-back capabilities directly into Power BI. This allowed branch teams to enter data and commentary into a centralized model, establishing a single source of truth. The solution cut the company's reporting and forecasting cycle by 67%, reducing the process from 15 days to just 5. This dramatic efficiency gain freed the finance team to focus on higher-value analysis and enabled the company to complete its annual budget before the fiscal year begins.
