Case Study: HD Supply achieves streamlined, automated consolidations and reduced Excel errors with Longview

Support Strategic Planning, Budgeting, and Quarterly Forecast Processes

HD Supply’s finance organization relied on manual, Excel-based consolidations that were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors. The iterative nature of the process increased risk and diverted staff time from analysis to data collection and reconciliation.

Implementing Longview for consolidation and management reporting, with implementation services for design, configuration, development, and testing, standardized and simplified the close process. Automated journal entries, intercompany eliminations, and financial reporting (balance sheet and income statement) reduced staff hours, eliminated numerous spreadsheets, improved data integrity and accuracy, and freed users to spend more time analyzing performance; planning, budgeting, and forecasting are slated for future rollout.
