Case Study: Distribution Management Company achieves streamlined reporting and budgeting with Solver Data Warehouse

Solver Data Warehouse streamlines reporting and budgeting for distribution management company

Distribution Management, founded in 1991 and headquartered in St. Louis, provides operational and financial infrastructure for subsidiaries that handle automated order processing, fulfillment and shipping (reaching 99% of the U.S. within two days and a 99.9% order accuracy rate). As the business grew, finance teams were burdened by fragmented, offline Excel processes, version-control problems and a lack of consolidated, actionable reporting and budgeting across subsidiaries.

They implemented the Solver Data Warehouse (SQL Server, Excel and Web Portal) with support from reseller Tribridge to centralize data, enable collaborative planning, and deliver real-time budgeting, forecasting and segmented financial reports. The result was a single, consistent repository for financials and operational metrics, higher-quality and more accountable budgets, faster reporting, expanded use of statistical and scenario analysis, and smoother ongoing integration of broader business data.
