Case Study: Auchan Retail achieves a 5-day financial close with OneStream Software

Auchan Retail Achieves an Efficient 5 Day Close by Unifying Workflows Across Dozens of Countries

Auchan Retail, a multinational retailer operating in 12 countries with 2,897 points of sale, needed to replace its outdated CPM application and eliminate multiple sources of truth across its subsidiaries. Using OneStream Software and its Financial Starter Kit, the company sought a single platform to support statutory consolidation, FP&A, and reporting across dozens of countries while adapting to different business lines and local regulations.

OneStream Software implemented a unified, workflow-based solution that consolidated financial and operational data in one environment for 350 users and 350 subsidiaries. The result was a standardized global process, faster and more auditable reporting, monthly IFRS reporting instead of quarterly, and a financial close completed in just 5 days—cutting the close cycle by one business day while replacing five legacy applications.
