Case Study: Home Products International achieves 75% faster budgeting and on-time reporting with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

Home Products International - Customer Case Study

Home Products International, a U.S. manufacturer of home organization and storage products, relied on JD Edwards for accounting but its finance team of 10 struggled with slow, error-prone reporting workflows—exporting data, rekeying into Excel and waiting weeks for consolidated financials and budgets.

Global Software’s Excel automation tools (Spreadsheet Server, Budget Excelerator and Distribution Manager) integrated Excel directly with JD Edwards to eliminate rekeying, enable on-time reporting and inventory visibility, and streamline budgeting. The result: reporting processes became 75% faster, the budgeting cycle shrank from four months to four weeks, spreadsheet security improved, and departmental analysis and visibility increased across the organization.
