Case Study: Brinkmann Constructors achieves streamlined reporting, improved accuracy and saves 100–200 hours with insightsoftware Spreadsheet Server

Construction Company Uses Findings From Spreadsheet Server Reports to Generate Directed Initiatives

Brinkmann Constructors, a construction company using Viewpoint ERP, was struggling with slow, error-prone reporting—difficulty creating reports quickly, combining GL and non‑GL data from multiple sources, and lacking data accuracy and validity. To solve this they chose insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server (with ODBC as a supplemental connector) over a BI solution because of its Excel-based interface, drill-down to sub‑ledger details, data security, quick implementation and support.

insightsoftware implemented Spreadsheet Server to replace disparate static Excel sheets with live data connections, automating data extraction, report distribution and month‑end/management packages across GL and non‑GL areas (job costing, payroll, inventory, projects). The solution centralized reporting, validated data, enabled directed initiatives and complex analysis, improved speed and accuracy of reporting, and saved Brinkmann Constructors an estimated 100–200 hours in one year.
