Case Study: Alterman Inc. achieves automated reporting and cuts budgeting from 3 days to 8 hours with Prophix Software

An Electrifying Budget for Alterman Inc

Alterman Inc., a long-established electrical construction leader in central Texas, faced growing finance challenges after several acquisitions: their Office of Finance relied on error-prone, formula-heavy Excel reports, struggled to capture key details, and spent excessive time on manual data entry and annual budgeting. They needed a user-friendly, scalable CPM solution to reduce risk and improve reporting agility.

After evaluating options and following a Viewpoint recommendation, Alterman deployed Prophix in the cloud and integrated it with their Viewpoint Spectrum ERP. Prophix automated forecasting and reporting by importing G/L balances, personnel, and job data, freeing the finance team from rigid month‑end Excel processes, improving manpower utilization and revenue prediction, and cutting budget preparation from about three days to roughly eight hours; next steps include expanded job and work‑in‑progress reporting.
