Case Study: Rack Room Shoes achieves fast, accurate automated Excel reporting with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

Rack Room Shoes - Customer Case Study

Rack Room Shoes, a leading U.S. shoe retailer founded in 1920 and operating in 24 states, was hampered by an inflexible, unreliable and time-consuming reporting process. Every report had to be saved, reformatted and redistributed in Excel—losing formulas and preventing on-the-fly review during month-end closes—so the finance team needed a dynamic, Excel-based reporting solution that preserved data integrity.

They implemented Spreadsheet Server (integrated with Oracle) and Distribution Manager, with implementation and training completed in hours. The new solution automated report generation and distribution for P&L, balance sheets, budgets and ad hoc analysis, enabling simultaneous edits during closes and delivering greater accuracy, flexibility and significant time savings.
