Case Study: ACME Lift Company achieves company-wide data consolidation and accelerated financial reporting with Vena Solutions

ACME Lift Consolidates Company-Wide Data To Drive Profitable Growth With Vena

ACME Lift is a wholesale equipment rental company (telehandlers, boom lifts, excavators, air compressors) headquartered in Arizona with regional subsidiaries across the U.S. and Canada. Before Vena, the company relied on RentalResult and IBM Cognos while finance teams struggled with fragmented data, separate financials per business unit, and a massive, error-prone Excel-based monthly close that led to crashes, version chaos and slow, non-strategic reporting.

By implementing Vena’s Complete Planning platform—with Excel as the familiar front end and a centralized cloud database for automated GL-fed reporting—ACME consolidated company-wide data into a single source of truth. The change cut reporting time dramatically (49 reports in about two hours), eliminated spreadsheet failures, aligned stakeholders with consistent financial information, and freed the BI team to focus on strategic initiatives like equipment tracking, resource planning and more profitable asset allocation.
