Case Study: Interstates achieves automated budgeting, faster forecasting and improved profitability with Prophix Software

Interstates - Customer Case Study

Interstates Companies is a design‑build electrical engineering and construction firm operating since 1953 with more than 500 employees and rapid revenue growth. Managing 11 separate companies and divisions on spreadsheets created major consolidation headaches—broken formulas, time‑consuming manual budgeting, and difficulty tracking inputs—which limited visibility into true job costs and hampered strategic decision‑making.

Interstates implemented Prophix CPM to automate budgeting, forecasting, reporting and a range of planning activities (personnel, CapEx, cash flow, utilization and allocations). The change cut annual budget preparation from six people working three weeks to one person in under two hours, preserved accounting headcount while revenue grew from $40M to $100M, delivered accurate job‑level costing to win bids, and consolidated reporting for better strategic planning and executive visibility.
