Case Study: Four Star Freightliner streamlines budgeting and quarterly reforecasting with Centage

Four Star Freightliner cuts annual budgeting from 2 months to 2 weeks with Centage

Four Star Freightliner, a multi-location truck dealership, faced cumbersome budgeting and forecasting using spreadsheets. Their process was manual, took months, and lacked the adaptability needed to manage rapid growth and complex personnel planning across seven locations. This made strategic quarterly reforecasts nearly impossible. They turned to Centage and its FP&A software for a solution.

Centage implemented its budgeting and forecasting platform, which features a dedicated personnel module and pre-programmed business logic. This allowed Four Star to create detailed, accurate budgets by employee, location, and department. The solution enabled efficient quarterly reforecasting, transforming their planning into a strategic exercise. As a result, the annual budgeting cycle was reduced from two months to just two weeks, and the management team now spends more time on strategic execution rather than manual data entry.
