Case Study: Guardian Energy achieves streamlined budgeting and improved operational visibility with Prophix Software

Empowering Operational Planning at Guardian Energy

Guardian Energy, a Midwest ethanol manufacturer managing three plants, needed to replace an informal, high‑level projection process that left operations out of budgeting and relied heavily on spreadsheets. Their finance team wanted a holistic CPM solution that increased collaboration, data confidence and transparency between finance and operations.

They selected Prophix’s cloud platform for its Excel‑like interface and integrated it with Intellego and PaperSave to create a single unified financial model. Budgets are now assembled in two weeks, leaders at each plant can drill into budgets vs. actuals and source invoices, and the company gains faster, more accurate forecasts, improved decision‑making and stronger auditability — with plans to expand operational metrics further.
