Case Study: Crittall Windows achieves streamlined, accurate budgeting and timely forecasts with Workday Adaptive Planning

Quick Deployment and Collaborative Features Put Data at Fingertips for Crittall

Crittall Windows Limited, a 150‑year‑old steel‑window manufacturer with about 200 employees and global operations, was struggling with a “perpetual ticking time bomb” of budgeting by multiple spreadsheets. Manual updates, limited forecasting, and difficulty linking labor investments to product output undermined data integrity and made accurate, timely forecasts hard to produce.

After deploying Workday Adaptive Planning, Crittall moved to a cloud‑based, collaborative model that automated allocations and assumptions, reduced errors, and provided real‑time reporting. Rolled out to key users, the solution saved staff time, improved budget accuracy, enabled timely forecasts, and let the finance team proactively adjust plans and make data‑driven decisions.
