Case Study: Pinkerton achieves faster, more accurate global reporting and budgeting with Thomson Reuters Elite xcelerate Budgeting & Forecasting

Monitoring Global Growth With Xcelerate Budgeting And Forecasting

Pinkerton, a 175-year-old global risk management and investigations firm with offices in more than 100 countries, needed a reliable reporting system to measure growth and monitor trends across nearly 60 offices. Although already using Thomson Reuters Enterprise for financial and practice management, leadership struggled with slow, fragmented reporting that hindered timely decision-making.

They implemented xcelerate Budgeting and Forecasting (OLAP Vision), a web- and Excel-based solution integrated with Enterprise, configured to show data timeliness and deliver drillable, localized reports. The change cut report generation from minutes to seconds and reduced month‑end reporting from days to about an hour, improving accuracy, visibility into revenues, costs and margins, speeding decisions, and enabling projected cost savings and revenue growth.
