Case Study: SudOcean achieves 80% increase in planning and budgeting efficiency with Kepion

Sudocean S.A. Increases Planning Efficiency By 80 Percent

SudOcean S.A., a multinational maritime port operations and freight-forwarding provider in Latin America, was struggling with rapid growth and a spreadsheet-based budgeting process that required heavy manual reconciliation, produced inconsistent data, and could not scale. To standardize and accelerate planning, SudOcean selected Kepion’s planning and budgeting solution to replace disparate spreadsheets and automate consolidation.

Working with implementation partner BI Applications, Kepion delivered a budgeting and reporting solution using Kepion Planning 3.0 and Kepion Modeler on Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2, integrated with SharePoint 2010 and Excel PowerPivot for real-time cubes and dashboards. Kepion’s implementation increased budgeting efficiency by 80%, eliminated data duplication and inconsistency, provided a single consolidated view for management, and freed finance to focus on analysis rather than reconciliation.
