Case Study: Casella Waste Systems Simplifies Budgeting and Forecasting with insightsoftware Longview

Solid Waste Company Simplifies Budgeting and Forecasting Systems to Accelerate Efficient Decision-Making Processes

Casella Waste Systems, a Vermont-based solid waste management company, was struggling with a spreadsheet-driven budgeting and forecasting process that had become unwieldy as the business grew. Manual consolidations, last-minute adjustments, and highly granular planning requirements made it difficult for staff to maintain timely forecasts and nearly impossible to run effective “what if” analyses. To solve this, Casella turned to insightsoftware’s Longview performance management application.

With insightsoftware’s Longview, Casella automated budgeting, planning, and forecasting across multiple business units and operating entities, while preserving the detailed modeling it needed for revenue, expense, cash flow, and balance sheet planning. The result was a shorter budgeting and forecasting cycle, less manual effort for roughly 130 users, better visibility into account-level details, and faster scenario modeling for senior management—helping the company make more timely and actionable decisions.
