Case Study: Invensys Rail North America achieves 2,200+ man-hours saved and rapid budgeting & forecasting with Prophix Software

Invensys Rail North America - Customer Case Study

Invensys Rail North America (IRNA), a Louisville-based division of Invensys Rail serving the rail control and communications market, was hampered by entrenched, spreadsheet-driven financial processes—35 interconnected workbooks, frequent file-size limits, security and version-control risks, and heavy IT involvement—which made budgeting, forecasting and reporting slow, error-prone and non-collaborative.

IRNA deployed Prophix in a phased rollout to centralize financial data, integrate with their ERP, and enable role-based security, workflows, drill-across detail and dashboarding. The automated solution reclaimed 2,200+ man hours annually (about $125K), sped month-end close and reforecasting (CFO ready by 9 a.m. on day one; full-year reforecasts by noon day two versus 4–5 days previously), improved data accuracy and collaboration, and boosted analyst and IT productivity without reducing headcount.
