Case Study: PPL achieves real-time finance planning and time savings with Workday Adaptive Planning

Selecting the right system to make vital music royalty payments

PPL needed a better way to manage vital music royalty payments and finance planning, as its management accounts team was spending too much time reconciling and consolidating spreadsheet-based forecasts with multiple versions floating around. The company chose Workday, specifically Workday Adaptive Planning, to replace the manual process.

Workday implemented Adaptive Planning to provide live updates, transparency, and instant impact analysis for budget changes. The result was a major reduction in time spent on consolidation and reconciliation, freeing the finance team to focus more on value-added insights and analysis to support decision-making, with expected time savings described as a “huge game changer.”
