Case Study: The Wilderness Society achieves effective labor budgeting and saves hundreds of staff hours with Prophix Software

A New Finance Frontier for The Wilderness Society

The Wilderness Society, a leading U.S. conservation nonprofit, struggled with a legacy budgeting system that couldn’t handle detailed labor/salary budgeting, maintain data integrity across multiple versions, or provide the multidimensional, secure tracking and Excel export capabilities needed to match their ERP and reporting needs.

They implemented Prophix—which integrated with Microsoft Dynamics SL and met their security and dimensional requirements—to deploy budget templates, train users, and have a working budget by the next fiscal year. The organization expanded Prophix to forecasting, consolidation, personnel/project/revenue/cash flow planning, exception-based time reporting and automated allocations, enabling mid-year reforecasts, single-file Excel reporting for managers, and saving hundreds of staff hours.
