Case Study: Leading Global Manufacturing Company achieves streamlined tax provisioning and global visibility with insightsoftware Longview Tax

How a Leading Global Manufacturer Tackled Their Tax Provisioning With Longview Tax

Leading Global Manufacturing Company had relied on a spreadsheet-based tax provisioning process that was error-prone and hard to control, especially given numerous foreign subsidiaries and active M&A. In 2009 the parent company deployed insightsoftware's Longview Tax to replace Excel, and when the business became independent in 2020 the Director of Tax Technology chose to keep Longview Tax rather than reverting to manual spreadsheets to avoid version-control issues and manual errors.

insightsoftware’s Longview Tax was adapted and centralized for the newly independent company, streamlining GL data collection, enabling automation, and providing purpose-built reports and web dashboards. The solution simplified the transfer during separation, improved visibility for head office, reduced risk from manual processes, and extended beyond provisioning into restructuring, audit templates and annual-report data collection — delivering faster consolidation, easier onboarding of contributors, and more reliable tax data.
