Case Study: Grafton Group plc accelerates financial reporting with Planful

Grafton Group plc cuts monthly reporting time by 20–30 minutes with Planful

Grafton Group plc, an international building materials distributor and DIY retailer, faced challenges with manual financial processes that slowed consolidations and reporting, preventing its FP&A team from providing deeper strategic analysis. The company sought to modernize its operations and chose the Planful platform to address these inefficiencies.

By implementing Planful, Grafton streamlined its consolidation and reporting, creating a single database for financial data. This solution cut days from the monthly close, sped up the creation of board reports, and freed up time for in-depth analysis. The Planful platform enabled the team to answer ad-hoc inquiries in minutes instead of hours and provided a historical record for spotting trends, transforming FP&A into a more strategic and value-added function for the business.
