Case Study: C.F. MARTIN & CO. achieves streamlined, centralized budgeting and faster financial reporting with Neubrain

C.F. MARTIN & CO. - Customer Case Study

C.F. Martin & Co., maker of premium acoustic guitars and strings for 182 years, needed to modernize its budgeting as the business scaled. Their financial planning relied on many Excel sheets, Access databases and an outdated legacy system, which made integrating SKU-level sales forecasts, moving to a driven personnel model, and gaining visibility into budget centers and costs slow and error-prone.

Neubrain implemented a centralized budgeting and performance-management solution with a nightly Infor SyteLine data interface, unified business rules, and self-service reporting with drill-down capabilities. The new system drastically reduced budget preparation time, improved variance analysis and financial monitoring, and lets users build custom reports and dashboards without IT support — delivering faster, more reliable budgeting and clearer insight across the organization.
