Case Study: Café Soluble achieves 60% faster closes and real-time financial visibility with Workday Adaptive Planning

Nutritional Beverage Distributor Gets Healthy Dose of Financial E ciency with Adaptive

Café Soluble, a Managua-based beverage manufacturer and distributor founded in 1958, faced growing pains as its on-premises, manual budgeting and forecasting processes became too complex to support continued growth. The company lacked a centralized system for plans, budgets, and actuals and had limited planning and analysis by product and distribution channel, which constrained visibility into costs and performance.

Working with partner Analitikal, Café Soluble implemented Workday Adaptive Planning in three months to gain a scalable, cloud-based planning platform that required no IT support and was intuitive for users. The solution delivered real-time visibility into raw-material and energy costs, profit and operating margins, and cross-department collaboration—cutting close and budget/forecast cycles by 60% (from one week to two days) and improving accuracy and insight across the business.
