Case Study: Interstate Batteries achieves faster month-end closes and real-time finance visibility with Hubble

Interstate Batteries Powers Up Finance and Reduces Chaotic Month-End

Interstate Battery System of America, the top replacement battery brand in North America with over 1,400 employees, had grown into a patchwork of disparate systems. Implementing JD Edwards unified their chart of accounts but exposed serious visibility problems across more than 50 corporate-owned distributorships; reporting, reconciliation and month‑end close became tedious, and IT was overloaded with ad hoc report requests.

To solve this, IT implemented Hubble for real‑time, drill‑down reporting and user self‑service. Finance cut routine tasks from days to hours, accelerated month‑end close, eliminated data re‑keying, and freed IT from frequent report requests—one consultant reported saving at least eight hours a month—while executives and managers gained fast, tailored access to consolidated and transactional data.
