Case Study: Lochmueller Group achieves 95% ROI and faster, more accurate budgeting with Prophix Software

Lochmueller Group - Customer Case Study

Lochmueller Group, a 180‑employee engineering firm headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, faced growing complexity managing internal labor transfers and general ledger budgeting. Its ERP (BST Global) lacked budgeting functionality, so the company relied on manual, error‑prone Excel processes that made cross‑department allocations and year‑end budgeting slow and difficult.

In September 2017 Lochmueller deployed Prophix, importing HCM data and building automated formulas, dashboards and report templates with consultant support to make budgeting collaborative and auditable. The cloud CPM solution reduced year‑end budgeting and reporting time, increased manager productivity, and streamlined report distribution—yielding a 95% ROI, a 1.4‑year payback, and cumulative net benefits that grow to $169K by year three.
