Case Study: Accent Group achieves efficient, consolidated planning & faster monthly reporting with Jedox

Accent Group accelerates budgeting process by 98%

Accent Group, a leading Australian retailer and distributor of performance and lifestyle footwear with over 420 stores and multiple brands across Australia and New Zealand, outgrew its Excel-based budgeting and reporting processes as it scaled from about 20 to 400+ stores. Multiple ERPs and separate data cubes made consolidated budgeting, forecasting and month‑end reporting slow and error-prone, so the finance team sought a single source of truth and a long‑term EPM partner.

Working with Cornerstone, Accent Group implemented Jedox for budgeting, reforecasting, month‑end P&L and balance sheet reporting and financial consolidation. The new solution consolidated disparate data sources, cut data upload time from 30–60 minutes to about a minute, automated all month‑end reports, improved accuracy and enabled faster what‑if analysis—freeing analysts to reforecast regularly and focus on higher‑value financial analysis.
