Case Study: Zep achieves faster planning, reporting, and consolidation with Planful

Planful Enables Zep’s Aggressive Growth Strategy

Zep, a leading specialty chemical provider with more than 300,000 customers, needed to replace aging budgeting and planning software before its next fiscal cycle. The company’s existing on-premises system was nearing the end of its lifecycle, and an upgrade would have taken more than a year, cost more, and required a dedicated administrator. Zep turned to Planful for a faster, more flexible planning and reporting solution.

Planful replaced Zep’s on-premises system without disrupting business users and added capabilities such as Advanced Workforce Planning, reporting, and consolidation on one platform. With Planful, Zep reduced analysis time from over an hour to just minutes, improved reporting access for managers, and automated multi-currency conversions to save time and reduce risk. The platform also supported Zep’s aggressive growth, including four acquisitions in one year, and enabled financial reporting during the first month of ownership.
