Case Study: Tupperware Brands achieves streamlined SEC reporting and complete filing control with Workiva (Wdesk)

Tupperware Seals the Deal with Wdesk

Tupperware Brands, a global direct‑selling company known for housewares and personal care products, faced an urgent SEC reporting challenge when James Hunt became Director of External Reporting: looming detailed XBRL tagging deadlines, a newly formed reporting team, and an inefficient national printer/XBRL bolt‑on process that caused pencils‑down delays and risked missed filings during multiple simultaneous submissions and SEC comment responses.

They switched to Wdesk, a cloud‑based, integrated SEC reporting solution, and within 11 weeks trained staff, built worksheets, and filed on schedule. Wdesk’s intuitive tagging, version control, commenting, and EDGAR filing features gave Tupperware full control of the filing process, eliminated pencils‑down wait times, sped report development (including 8‑Ks and S‑4s), and is expected to reduce filing costs to roughly 40–50% of previous expenses.
