Case Study: Anderson Development achieves streamlined, real-time financial reporting and saves 50–100 hours with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

Anderson Development - Customer Case Study

Anderson Development, a small chemicals company running JD Edwards, struggled with manual, multi-step reporting—rekeying ERP data into static spreadsheets, limited access to real‑time information, heavy reliance on IT, and difficulty combining GL and non‑GL data from multiple sources. These challenges made timely, analytical reporting and strategic decision‑making difficult.

They deployed Global Software’s Spreadsheet Server, an Excel‑based connector that links multiple systems, supports drill‑down to sub‑ledger detail, and lets users build reports themselves. The company replaced disparate static sheets with live, streamlined reports across finance, manufacturing, sales, inventory and job costing, reduced IT dependency, improved visibility for strategic initiatives, and saved an estimated 50–100 hours in the first year.
