Case Study: Ichor Systems achieves faster month-end close and reconciliation with SkyStem ART

Ichor’s global accoun8ng team relies on ART to intelligently manage the month-end close and reconcilia8on process

Ichor Systems, a global manufacturing and process engineering company with a multinational accounting team, was managing its month-end close and reconciliations manually across several locations. The process relied heavily on spreadsheets, emails, and disparate file storage, which made it difficult to track status, review work, and retrieve prior-period documents. Ichor Systems evaluated SkyStem’s ART solution after mixed results with another close and reconciliation tool.

SkyStem implemented ART quickly with minimal disruption, training Ichor’s team directly on their own accounts and live process. Within about one month, the system was up and running, giving the team real-time dashboards, alerts, centralized access to documents, and better accountability. The result was improved visibility and control, less time spent on reviews and status checks, and a reported 10% to 20% reduction in reconciliations prepared each month.
