Case Study: Crimson Renewable Energy achieves a single source of truth and faster consolidated reporting with WinMan ERP

Crimson Renewable Energy establishes a single comprehensive data source with WinMan’s enterprise resource planning software

Crimson Renewable Energy, the largest biodiesel producer on the U.S. West Coast, had outgrown QuickBooks and relied on thousands of Excel spreadsheets that produced unreliable data, long reporting lags, and manual, error-prone reconciliation across five legal entities. Seeking “a single source of truth,” Crimson Renewable Energy selected WinMan ERP as its enterprise resource planning solution to centralize accounting, production, order and inventory data.

WinMan ERP consolidated CRE’s disparate spreadsheets into a single data source, automated intercompany transactions (automatically creating reciprocal invoices), and enabled global/local accounting for faster consolidation across five legal entities. The implementation reduced reporting lag from as much as three weeks to one or two days, gave sales teams real-time production visibility, cut manual data entry and reconciliation time, and improved data capture and executive decision-making.
