Case Study: Port of Tacoma achieves streamlined forecasting, reporting and $250K+ annual savings with Prophix Software

Rising Tides for the Finance Team at Port of Tacoma

Port of Tacoma, a municipally owned seaport in Puget Sound, was hindered by more than fifty disconnected spreadsheets that didn’t align with their accounting system, making it difficult and time-consuming for the finance team to reconcile data, validate numbers and perform meaningful analysis.

By adopting Prophix’s user-friendly CPM platform for forecasting, reporting and scenario planning, the port streamlined validation and reporting, enabled managers to run “what‑if” scenarios and drill into details, and freed up time for analysis. The move delivered tangible benefits: more than $250,000 annual operational savings, $180,000 in corrected billing errors, a $50,000 paving issue identified, and over $23,000 annual savings in planning and reporting effort.
