Case Study: Coop Sørvest achieves faster, more accurate budgeting with insightsoftware's Bizview

Flexible Budgeting Tool Proves Invaluable for Follow-Up for Large 89-Store System in Norway

Coop Sørvest, Norway’s third-largest consumer association with 89 stores, faced a cumbersome annual budgeting process that required store managers to manually update Excel templates—typically taking 2–3 work weeks and creating errors and rework. To modernize budgeting and improve control, Coop Sørvest deployed Bizview from insightsoftware, integrated with their Microsoft Dynamics AX accounting system and the Stafftuner HR system.

insightsoftware’s Bizview centralized budgeting in a single model, allowed 142 users to work in parallel without overwrites, and eliminated manual spreadsheet consolidation. The implementation cut budget preparation to less than one week, improved input quality and transparency, enabled up-to-date reporting at regional and store levels, and freed time for analysis and performance management—delivering greater security, control, and user satisfaction.
