Case Study: Tribal Group achieves streamlined, error-free consolidation, budgeting and forecasting with Longview Performance Management

Longview Application Provides Effective Solution for Consolidation, Budgeting & Forecasting in a HighGrowth Business Environment

Tribal Group, a fast-growing UK provider of public‑sector services with over 2,000 employees and £275m turnover, struggled to manage rapid acquisition-driven growth using disparate GL systems and linked spreadsheets. Monthly consolidation, budgeting and forecasting were slow, error‑prone and labour‑intensive, undermining Board confidence and preventing timely, reliable decision support.

Tribal implemented the Longview Performance Management application—a single, scalable database for consolidation, budgeting and forecasting with client/server calculations and semi‑automated data loads. The change eliminated manual spreadsheet tasks, saved at least six person‑days per month, sped up what‑if analysis and forecasting, made reporting and drill‑downs instantaneous, improved accuracy and Board confidence, and freed accountants to focus on higher‑value analysis.
