Case Study: ABM achieves faster, real-time audit reporting with insightsoftware Jet Reports

ABM’s Audit Process Amped Up With Jet Reports

Associated Battery Manufacturers EA (ABM Group), a Kenyan battery manufacturer, faced challenges with manual, inefficient reporting processes and an inability to properly mine data from its Microsoft Dynamics NAV system. This limitation hindered the internal audit team's effectiveness. The company turned to insightSoftware and its product, Jet Reports, which it already owned but was underutilizing, to address this need for a stronger data mining system.

Through training provided by insightSoftware's partner, Ujuzitech, ABM's team learned to leverage Jet Reports for continuous audits and automated exception scripting. The solution from insightSoftware delivered significant results: weekly management reporting time was reduced from 16 hours to just 4, and exception reporting that previously took four weeks is now done in real-time. This automation improved company-wide visibility, accountability, and led to a reduction in inventory shrinkage.
