Case Study: W. Soule & Co. achieves reduced financial risk and faster billing with Viewpoint Spectrum Business Intelligence

W Soule & Co. Used Spectrum Business Intelligence to Mitigate Financial Risk

W. Soule & Co., a 70‑year‑old multi‑trade industrial contractor with six locations serving food & beverage, life sciences, chemical and paper industries, needed better operational insight and more specialized reporting to run its distributed operations efficiently. The company’s Spectrum ERP held the data but lacked an easy way to pull customized, timely reports—making project and financial analysis slow and increasing exposure to late payments and other risks.

W. Soule became an early adopter of Spectrum Business Intelligence, using its data warehouse and intuitive drag‑and‑drop report builder to create dashboards, maps and tailored reports. The solution delivered real‑time project and financial analysis, streamlined accounting (enabling faster billing and collections), reduced reporting effort, helped spot trouble spots early to mitigate risk, and revealed new opportunities for growth.
