Case Study: Burroughs & Chapin Co. frees up 25% of IT support and cuts reporting time by 30% with insightsoftware's Spreadsheet Server

Leading Real Estate Developer Frees Up IT Department thanks to Spreadsheet Server

Burroughs & Chapin Co., a leading real estate developer, faced time-consuming reporting challenges—combining and consolidating GL and non‑GL data from MRI Software and other databases—and evaluated an ERP‑packaged reporting tool before selecting insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server. Financial Director Jim Perito led the effort to find a solution that would extend reporting beyond the core ERP and reduce reliance on IT.

insightsoftware implemented Spreadsheet Server, using QueryDesigner to automate reports for payables/receivables and real‑estate leasing analytics. The solution freed up about 25% of the company’s IT support load and trimmed more than 30% from their prior reporting process, while giving analysts direct access to GL data without needing deep ERP report‑writing skills.
