Case Study: Cascades achieves 50% faster consolidation and improved data integrity with insightsoftware Longview

Improved Data Integrity and Greater Level of Detail

Cascades, a global manufacturer of sustainable packaging and hygiene products, struggled with Excel-based consolidation, budgeting and reporting that was labor-intensive, error-prone, and consumed time reconciling numbers rather than analyzing them. Facing growing internal and regulatory reporting demands, Cascades engaged insightsoftware and implemented the Longview Consolidation solution to replace manual processes and centralize financial data.

insightsoftware automated key processes—data import, foreign currency translation, cash flow, intercompany eliminations, KPI/statistical calculations, capex tracking and EBITDA variance analysis—creating a single repository for financial data. The Longview implementation cut the consolidation process by 50%, improved data integrity and detail, enabled early error detection, shortened the monthly close, freed more time for analysis, and reduced IT complexity.
