Case Study: Skanska USA Building Inc. achieves streamlined overhead budgeting and rapid financial reporting with Prophix Software

Mastering Overhead Budgeting and Reporting with CPM Software

Skanska USA Building, a national construction leader with ~$4.6B in revenue and ~3,000 employees across 17 states, faced slow, error-prone overhead budgeting and reporting driven by heavy Excel reliance: over 250 emailed templates, manual consolidations, version-control and security issues, inflexible report formats, and lengthy executive-package preparation that couldn’t keep up with growing business complexity.

After a structured evaluation process Skanska implemented Prophix CPM to integrate multiple data sources with minimal ongoing IT support. Within the first 100 days the company cut Excel dependence, enabled user self-service, and centralized reporting—forecast setup dropped from days with six people to a few hours for one, 25+ department reports now update instantly, financial statements run in minutes, and ad hoc analysis and management reporting are far faster—enabling deeper analysis and more data-driven decisions.
