Case Study: Coleman Cable achieves automated, accurate budgeting and faster reporting with Prophix Software

Coleman Cable - Customer Case Study

Coleman Cable, a Waukegan, Illinois–based manufacturer of more than 70,000 wire and cable products (about $900M revenue, 1,600 employees), relied on error-prone spreadsheets for budgeting and forecasting. That lack of a unified database made structural changes, last-minute updates and consolidated reporting slow and risky for the finance team.

By implementing Prophix, Coleman Cable automated budgeting, forecasting and operational reporting, built sales and production models, and linked forecasts directly into financial statements. The solution sped report generation, improved accuracy and transparency, integrated plant production and time-clock data, enforced security and even enabled the planning team to maintain performance despite a major headcount reduction — delivering clear time savings and stronger decision-making across the business.
