Case Study: Goodwill Industries of Denver cuts financial planning and analysis time by 50% with Workday Adaptive Planning

Goodwill Cuts Financial Planning and Analysis Process by 50%

Goodwill Industries of Denver, serving more than 22,000 people across 85 locations, faced an unwieldy FP&A process with 237 budgets and forecasts that its Excel-based system could no longer manage. The finance team needed better data integrity, faster consolidation, and a more collaborative approach to budgeting and cash forecasting.

Working with Adaptive Insights (via partner IntuitiveTek), Goodwill implemented a cloud planning solution in just a few months, moving budget ownership to department leaders and enabling monthly financial reports, cash‑flow projections, and transactional drill‑downs. The result was immediate time savings—finance cut administrative work by up to 50%—more accurate forecasts, stronger accountability, and faster, more flexible reporting and analysis across the organization.
