Case Study: ALKU achieves $55K annual IT cost savings and a 50% faster month-end close with Prophix Software (Prophix Cloud)

ALKU - Customer Case Study

ALKU is a U.S.-based specialized staffing firm (over $200M in revenue) that had deployed Prophix on-premises to modernize accounting and reduce reliance on Excel. Despite initial improvements, the finance team still spent time consolidating spreadsheets across siloed departments and lacked the flexibility, remote access, and integrations needed with its staffing/ATS, CRM, HCM and ERP systems—prompting a move to retire legacy infrastructure and increase automation.

In 2019 ALKU migrated to Prophix Cloud and integrated it with its existing systems, automating consolidation and reporting, shortening the monthly close by nearly 50% to a couple of weeks, and rolling the platform out to 50+ additional users. The cloud transition simplified the IT ecosystem, eliminated on‑premises hosting and support costs (about $55,000 per year), and delivered a 39% ROI with a 2.7‑year payback, while improving data quality, visibility, and planning.
