Case Study: Plano Molding achieves a unified company view and rapid acquisition integration with TARGIT Decision Suite

Plano tackles one world view with TARGIT's BI for manufacturing

Plano Molding, a leading maker of tackle boxes, gun cases and other molded products since 1952, needed a single, up-to-date company view across global locations and frequent acquisitions. Their legacy reporting tool couldn’t deliver real-time, company-wide insight and required heavy IT involvement, leaving business users without the data access they needed.

After implementing TARGIT Decision Suite, Plano consolidated data from AS/400, Oracle, Excel and acquired ERPs into a unified data warehouse updated multiple times daily. TARGIT enabled a “One Customer One View,” empowered non‑IT users with ad‑hoc analysis and mobile access, accelerated financial cube deployment, and let Plano model acquisitions and pricing with “What If” scenarios—reducing manual ETL effort, speeding decision-making, and transforming their data-driven culture.
