Case Study: Kimberly-Clark achieves automated, accurate data uploads and a one-week time savings with CSC Corptax Data Exchange

Streamlining Data Upload to Gain New Process Efficiencies with Corptax Data Exchange

Kimberly-Clark, a global manufacturer of health and hygiene products with operations in more than 80 countries, was burdened by an inefficient tax-data process that required manually creating and uploading over 1,200 files for more than 200 entities (including duplicate trial balance uploads in local currency and U.S. dollars). After a partial fix that combined files proved inflexible and error-prone, Kimberly-Clark engaged CSC Corptax and its Corptax Data Exchange to find a faster, more reliable approach.

CSC Corptax implemented Corptax Data Exchange to automate file imports, enforce consistent mapping rules, and run uploads during off-peak hours; the solution pulls in data packages, eliminates manual restarts of incorrect files, and reduces human error. As a result, Kimberly-Clark removed roughly a week’s worth of upload work, can load trial balances and intercompany files automatically for 1,200 entities, accelerate estimates and tax planning, and realize measurable time savings and greater accuracy.
