Case Study: Chicago Tube & Iron achieves rapid ROI and a streamlined financial close with Infor Consulting Services

Chicago Tube & Iron finds quick ROI with Infor Consulting Services

Chicago Tube & Iron, a leading U.S. steel service center, needed to modernize financial processes to eliminate year‑end blackout periods, allow multiple fiscal periods to be open concurrently, simplify post‑close report writing, increase visibility into operating data, add management dashboards, and make general‑ledger posting easier for accounting staff.

Infor Consulting Services implemented Infor SunSystems and Infor Corporate Performance Management (FM, CPM) with an accelerated three‑week rollout covering design, installation, build, and integration. The result: simplified fiscal year‑end close with multiple periods open, a 40% reduction in CFO monthly report prep time, ad‑hoc reporting cut from two days to a few hours, improved usability for accounting staff, and daily monitoring of financial and operational performance.
