Case Study: National DCP achieves faster decision-making and a 40% quicker month-end close with Planful

National DCP Speeds Business Decisions with Planful

National DCP, a global provider of supply chain solutions for the foodservice industry, needed to speed decision-making but was hampered by slow, manual reporting and a dependence on highly customized Excel outputs. Those manual processes kept critical information from reaching decision-makers quickly and left Finance little time to collaborate with the business.

By expanding its Planful deployment—using Structured and Dynamic Planning, Spotlight Excel, dashboards, automation, and one‑click report collections—National DCP gave stakeholders self-service access to tailored financial insights. The result: month‑end close and consolidation improved 40% (from five days to three), Planful adoption rose 7×, hundreds of on‑demand Excel reports are available with a click, and the business can act faster with greater collaboration and confidence.
