Case Study: Solarcentury achieves automated global budgeting and reporting with Prophix Software

Finance Success is Sunny at Solarcentury

Solarcentury, the UK’s largest solar company founded in 1998 with over 1 GWp deployed and a multi‑continent pipeline, struggled with finance processes constrained by Excel: broken links and formulas, lack of version control and limited dimensions prevented accurate analysis, reliable budgeting and timely decision‑making across its UK, Dutch, Panamanian, Kenyan and South African operations.

By implementing Prophix CPM, Solarcentury automated annual budgeting, reporting and detailed planning using multidimensional models that consolidate data from Microsoft Dynamics NAV, CRM and multiple accounting systems. The solution supports P&L planning, revenue and personnel models (via DPM), daily cash reporting and consolidated views across countries—freeing finance to focus on strategic analysis, improving accuracy and visibility, and enabling more informed long‑term planning with plans to extend rolling forecasts and overhead allocations.
