Case Study: Russell Standard shaves 30 days off budgeting with insightsoftware Bizview

Russell Standard Shaves Weeks Off Its Annual Budgeting Timeline with Bizview and Spreadsheet Server

Russell Standard, a manufacturing company and long-time Viewpoint user, was struggling with an archaic, spreadsheet-based budgeting and reporting process that was slow, manual, and difficult to coordinate across departments. With insightsoftware’s Spreadsheet Server and Budget Accelerator, the finance team improved Excel reporting, but annual planning and budgeting still took months and required heavy collaboration and data consolidation.

To solve this, Russell Standard implemented insightsoftware’s Bizview to add automated workflows, integrated budgeting and planning, executive dashboards, and consolidated reporting in a single platform. The result was a much faster, more controlled budgeting process that cut the annual budgeting and planning timeline by a full 30 days, helping Russell Standard streamline approvals, reduce errors, and improve decision-making.
