Case Study: Daishowa-Marubeni International Ltd. cuts month-end close from 20 to 6 hours and streamlines reporting with Prophix Software

A More Habitable Finance Environment for Daishowa-Marubeni International Ltd

Daishowa‑Marubeni International Ltd. (DMI) is an integrated forest products company whose finance team was burdened by manual, non‑integrated spreadsheets to manage month‑end consolidations and reporting across its wood and pulp businesses. This spreadsheet reliance forced overtime, lacked consistent processes and ERP integration, and made monthly forecasting virtually unattainable.

By implementing Prophix CPM with seamless integration to Microsoft Dynamics GP, DMI now imports costs and statistics directly, automates allocations and consolidations, and reduced month‑end processing from 20 to 6 hours. The finance team gained full operational visibility, produces comprehensive forward‑looking forecasts, and plans to extend Prophix use to managers to drive further time savings and better decision‑making.
