Case Study: Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua improves financial planning and gains deeper performance visibility with Workday Adaptive Planning

Brewer Buoys up Financial Management With Cloud Software

Compañía Cervecera de Nicaragua, the largest brewery in Nicaragua, faced growing competition from international brewers entering the Central American market. Their challenges included an over-reliance on error-prone spreadsheets for budgeting and forecasting, a lack of real-time visibility into market changes, and a constant need for IT support. To gain a deeper understanding of their business drivers and improve decision-making, they turned to the Workday Adaptive Planning cloud software.

With the help of partner Analitikal, Workday Adaptive Planning was implemented and integrated with their SAP ERP system. The solution provided deep analytical capabilities for everything from raw material costs to payroll, eliminating spreadsheet risks and a staggering 80 weeks of data aggregation time. This enabled the finance team and 40 managers across the company to perform sophisticated "what-if" analysis and make data-driven strategic decisions, allowing them to focus more on customer relationships and operational performance.
