Case Study: Texas Hockey Stars achieves streamlined departmental budgeting and faster budget‑vs‑actual reporting with Budgyt

Texas Hockey Stars - Customer Case Study

Texas Hockey Stars, led by CFO Larry Silver, needed a budgeting solution to organize and analyze operating expenses across 26 departments. They required budget vs. actual variance reporting, import/export with Dynamics Great Plains, dashboards by month and fiscal reporting period, the ability to limit categories to departments, and the capability to link any number of Excel sheets — requirements they brought to Budgyt before purchase.

Budgyt developed custom enhancements (now standard) including revised dashboards, department-limited categories, Excel linking for complex calculations, expanded comment fields, and integration workflows; the work took about 4–6 weeks and only a few hours of user training. As a result, Texas Hockey Stars rolled out dozens of Excel-linked sheets, gained clear budget vs. actual summary and detail by department, and saved significant time managing the budgeting process, with non-finance managers calling it a vast improvement over their previous Excel-based approach.
