Case Study: Encore Electric automates budgeting and saves 1,800+ hours with Prophix Software

Lighting the way to a better budget for Encore Electric

Encore Electric, a Rocky Mountain electrical construction, technology and maintenance services firm (founded 2003; 900+ employees; $200M+ revenue), relied on Microsoft Excel and limited ERP reporting for budgeting and analysis. That led to broken formulas, typos and nearly 2,000 hours spent consolidating 25+ spreadsheets each cycle, a drawn-out July–November budget process, and decisions made on unclosed or inaccurate live data that blocked KPI analysis and undermined confidence.

Encore implemented Prophix Cloud in six weeks to standardize templates, automate workflows and enable self-service reporting; over 40 stakeholders now contribute to budgets that take 30 minutes to set up and automatically roll up, saving more than 1,800 hours. Automated report distribution, recreated financial statements, job-cost dashboards and ad hoc analysis improved data confidence and remote collaboration, and helped cut days sales outstanding (DSO) by 40 days.
