Case Study: Leading Mining Corporation achieves timely, reliable and auditable financial reporting with Vena Solutions

Automating a manual process to create more timely and reliable reports

A leading Canadian mining corporation (US$900M+ revenue, 1,300+ employees) relied on a single, uncontrolled Excel workbook to reconcile and report recognizable revenue each month. Because product pricing and shipment factors changed frequently, the Finance team performed multiple manual VLOOKUPs and version comparisons, which was time-consuming, error-prone and exposed the company to unauthorized edits and slow month-end closes.

Vena implemented a secure central data repository that syncs with the client’s Ellips GL and connected dynamic Excel templates to that repository, automating data roll‑ins, eliminating VLOOKUPs and providing a full date/time/user audit trail with version rollback. The solution delivered auditable, accurate and timely reports, a single version of the truth, faster closes, higher finance productivity, better forecasting and improved customer satisfaction.
