Case Study: Eastern Industrial Supplies achieves automated financial reporting and faster decision-making with Phocas

Eastern Industrial Supplies makes fast business decisions with data analytics

Eastern Industrial Supplies struggled to build an effective BI strategy and relied on a highly manual financial statements process, using Eclipse reports, PDFs, Excel data entry and manual distribution. With Phocas Financial Statements, the company wanted a simpler way to create reports, give branch managers timely access to relevant data, and improve visibility across the business.

Phocas automated Eastern Industrial Supplies’ financial statements and expanded reporting with dashboards for sales, freight and procurement. The result was faster, more accurate reporting and major time savings: the controller now saves two full business days, and reports that once took hours or days can now be produced in 30–45 minutes, helping the company make quicker decisions and protect cost advantages.
