Performance Food Group automates 97% of journal entries with BlackLine

Performance Food Group (PFG), a large food and beverage distribution company, faced a manual and paper-heavy financial close process. Relying on physical binders and printed journal entries, the company lacked transparency and efficiency. They sought a modern solution and implemented BlackLine's accounting automation software to overcome these challenges.

By deploying BlackLine, PFG automated 97% of its journal entries and digitized its account reconciliations. The solution resulted in a 90% reduction in printing costs and freed up significant staff time. Additionally, reconciliation time shortened dramatically, with 56% completed by the fifth day of the close, while data integrity and organizational transparency were greatly improved.
