Case Study: Waimate District Council reduces business risk and speeds financial planning with MAGIQ Performance (MAGIQ Software)

Waimate District Council - Customer Case Study

Waimate District Council, a small New Zealand local government organisation, faced rising business risk and inefficiency from complex, manual spreadsheet processes used to produce its Annual and 10‑year Long Term Financial Plans. To address this, the Council selected MAGIQ Software’s MAGIQ Performance solution to replace ad‑hoc spreadsheets and centralise its financial planning.

MAGIQ Performance was implemented to eliminate spreadsheets, streamline modelling and automate plan updates, producing a significant reduction in business risk and faster, more accurate planning. According to the Council, tasks that once took hours or days are now completed within the hour, data confidence and transparency have improved, and MAGIQ Software’s ongoing support and the Council’s internal model ownership ensure sustained efficiency and a single consistent view for decision‑making.
