Case Study: Corobrik cuts budget capture to one week with IDU

Corobrik cuts budget capture to one week with IDU

Corobrik, a major South African manufacturer of clay bricks and pavers, faced a significant challenge in its annual budgeting process. Coordinating figures across its 15 factories, 25+ retail centers, and multiple currencies using spreadsheets was slow and inflexible. The top-down approach left managers with imposed targets they could not interrogate. To solve this, they turned to vendor IDU and its Sales Planning and Reporting Modules.

IDU's solution enabled a bottom-up budgeting process where managers built their own sales forecasts. The platform automated complex calculations and accommodated multiple companies and seasonal demand variations. This implementation by IDU dramatically reduced the budget capture time across the entire network to just one week, increased forecast accuracy, and gave managers greater ownership of their figures.
