Case Study: Swan Mill Paper Company achieves accurate multi-currency sales forecasting and faster budgeting with Prophix Software

Swan Mill Paper Company - Customer Case Study

Swan Mill Paper Company, a Swantex-branded tableware manufacturer founded in 1892 with ~£50M in revenue and 218 employees, was using Adaptive Insights but had outgrown its capabilities. The finance team needed deeper, configurable functionality to handle multi-currency budgeting and subsidiary-specific reporting (notably Hong Kong and Castleview divisions) plus stronger sales forecasting, and they used the approaching contract renewal as an opportunity to evaluate alternatives.

Swan Mill implemented Prophix, replacing their previous solution in three days and integrating it with Microsoft Dynamics AX; upgrades thereafter were painless. Prophix’s multidimensional models, rolling forecasts, role-based workflows and drill-down reporting deliver multi-currency budgeting and accurate contribution-margin forecasting by customer, product and region—giving sales and finance real-time insight, faster decisions and a foundation for further driver-based planning.
