Case Study: Calor Gas accelerates month-end close with Hubble

Calor Gas Fuels Finance At Month-End

Calor Gas, the UK's leading supplier of LPG, faced significant challenges during its month-end financial reconciliation. Using JD Edwards, their team struggled to locate the source of data variances, a process they described as like finding a "needle in a haystack." This lack of visibility forced staff to export massive amounts of data into spreadsheets, severely slowing down their month-end close and complicating audits. They sought an integrated solution from vendor Hubble to address these issues.

Hubble implemented its month-end application, which provided Calor Gas with real-time reporting directly connected to their JD Edwards ERP. The solution auto-targeted discrepancies, allowing users to drill down to the transaction level to fix errors immediately. As a result, month-end processing was dramatically accelerated, with reports that once took a day now completed in seconds. Hubble helped achieve a 7.5% reduction in retrospective ordering and made the financial audit process more straightforward and shorter.
