Case Study: LightPath Technologies achieves FP&A clarity and time savings with Blox

From Spreadsheet Overload to Strategic Financial Clarity with Blox

LightPath Technologies, a global manufacturer of optical components, faced significant challenges with its outdated, spreadsheet-heavy FP&A processes. The company struggled with data silos in an old Infor Visual system, a complex chart of accounts, and manual reporting, which made financial planning inefficient and unreliable. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor Blox for its FP&A solution.

By implementing Blox, the company automated data imports from Infor Visual, established a single source of truth, and utilized real-time dashboards for better visualization. This solution saved the finance team over 15 hours per month, significantly improved data accuracy, and enabled more strategic decision-making. Blox provided the scalable platform that empowered the team to move beyond manual processes and become a more valuable strategic partner.
