Case Study: C.F. Martin & Co. streamlines budgeting and reporting with Neubrain

C.F. MARTIN & CO. cuts budgeting time with Neubrain and nightly ERP uploads

C.F. Martin & Co. (Martin Guitar), a leading acoustic instrument maker, faced challenges with a fragmented budgeting process reliant on numerous Excel spreadsheets, Access databases, and an outdated legacy system. They sought to consolidate these data sources and streamline their corporate budgeting to support growth, specifically by integrating detailed sales forecasts, simplifying personnel budgeting, and gaining better visibility into costs. They turned to Neubrain for a solution using its robust budgeting and performance management system.

The Neubrain solution integrated all budgeting elements into a single system, featuring a robust data interface with Martin's Infor SyteLine ERP for nightly data updates. This unified business rules into a centralized database, enabling self-service reporting, enhanced variance analysis, and the ability for users to build custom reports without IT support. The results significantly decreased the budgeting timeline and provided the finance team with more time for strategic analysis, thanks to Neubrain's implemented system and ongoing support.
