Case Study: Brambles achieves greater visibility and automation in the close with BlackLine

Brambles standardizes 5,000 monthly journals with BlackLine

Brambles, a global logistics company, faced a significant challenge due to its fragmented finance operations across 60 countries. Using various reconciliation tools left the organization without visibility into over 8,000 reconciliations and journal entries, creating risk and inefficiency. To address this, Brambles implemented BlackLine's Account Reconciliations, Task Management, and Journal Entry services to gain control and standardize its processes.

By implementing BlackLine, Brambles achieved complete visibility and standardization of its financial close. The solution provided measurable results, including the on-time completion of all reconciliations, streamlined management of over 2,000 tasks, and insight into 5,000 monthly journal entries. This increased agility, reduced risk, and boosted confidence for Brambles' finance team, with BlackLine enabling a cleaner and more automated global close process.
