Case Study: Golden State Foods achieves faster, more transparent operational planning with Planful

Golden State Foods saves 50% on quarterly business review prep with Planful

Golden State Foods, a leading global foodservice supplier, found its manual operational planning processes could not keep up after the company's FP&A team had already accelerated financial consolidation and reporting using Planful. Relying on slow and inconsistent spreadsheets for budgeting and re-forecasting created delays and limited visibility, hampering strategic decisions as the business grew.

With guidance from partner KeenVision, Golden State Foods extended its use of the Planful platform to create a single source of financial truth, integrating data from various systems. Planful provided an end-to-end FP&A solution for consolidation, reporting, and streamlined planning. The results included saving 50% of the time previously spent on quarterly business reviews, cutting three days from the monthly close, and significantly increasing transparency and agility for the finance team.
