Case Study: Hanna Andersson achieves faster, error-free budgeting and expanded reporting with Strata Decision Technology

High-quality children’s clothing retailer standardizes budgeting platform to shorten the process, mitigate data errors and extend reporting capabilities

Hanna Andersson, a Portland-based retailer of high-quality children’s clothing with catalog, e‑commerce, wholesale and brick-and-mortar channels, faced a fragmented budgeting process built on multiple departmental workbooks and Excel files that caused inefficiency, data inconsistencies, and limited organizational reporting. To unify budgeting and reporting, the company engaged Strata Decision Technology to provide an integrated budgeting and financial planning platform.

Strata Decision Technology consolidated department-level budgets into a single database, extended familiar Excel functionality for easy customization by Finance, and eliminated manual imports and reconciliation. As a result, Hanna Andersson shortened its budget cycle, reduced data discrepancies, and greatly expanded and streamlined reporting capabilities—delivering measurable time savings and more consistent, actionable financial information.
