Case Study: Gehr Enterprises achieves real-time financial visibility and 50% faster budgeting with KCI Computing's CONTROL

CONTROL® delivers real-time insight into key financial, non-financial performance metrics

Gehr Enterprises, a Los Angeles‑based company with manufacturing, distribution and real estate divisions, struggled with fragmented financial and operational data from ADP, SCP and Macola and an error‑prone, labor‑intensive Excel budgeting process that left planning out of date. To gain timely, multi‑dimensional visibility and streamline forecasting and reporting, Gehr engaged KCI Computing and deployed the CONTROL solution.

KCI Computing installed CONTROL in Gehr’s environment to extract and consolidate data daily or weekly, provide drill‑down/drill‑through detail, and deliver budgeting, forecasting and reporting inside a familiar Excel‑style interface. The implementation eliminated much manual reconciliation, enabled immediate scenario feedback and KPI analysis, and cut the overall budgeting process by 50%, producing real‑time updates that improved decision‑making and planning.
