Case Study: St. John Knits achieves 75% faster financial reporting and reduced IT reliance with Global Software, Inc.'s Spreadsheet Server

St. John Knits - Customer Case Study

St. John Knits is a 42-year-old, global knitwear manufacturer with more than 5,000 employees, six fashion lines and sales in 28 countries. As the business grew, its accounting team needed a more sophisticated, secure and intuitive Microsoft Excel–based financial reporting and analysis solution that would work with their MOVEX ERP and allow users to create dynamic reports without heavy IT involvement.

St. John implemented Spreadsheet Server (with Distribution Manager) to connect Excel directly to MOVEX; the product was deployed and users trained in one day and put into use immediately. The change delivered 75% faster report production, automated report distribution, reduced reliance on internal IS, and put report creation and management into the hands of accounting users with ongoing support from Global Software.
