Case Study: Arbella Insurance achieves 66% faster quarterly close and 100% paperless accounts payable with Workday

Arbella - Customer Case Study

Arbella Insurance Group, founded in 1988 in Quincy, MA, is a regional provider of auto, home, and business insurance across New England. Facing a patchwork of legacy systems and spreadsheet-driven processes, Arbella sought a single, unified platform to strengthen financial controls, improve reporting, and boost operational efficiency.

Arbella implemented Workday (Financial Management, Expenses, Procurement, HCM, Payroll, Time Tracking) in an 8-month deployment, consolidating finance and HR into one cloud system and eliminating many manual spreadsheets. The move delivered self-service analytics, faster closes, streamlined accounts payable and procurement (now 100% paperless), a 66% reduction in quarterly close time, doubled functionality versus the prior system, shorter audits, and greater organizational agility.
