Case Study: Winnebago Industries streamlines SEC reporting and saves 30+ hours with Workiva's Wdesk

Winnebago Industries, Inc. Hits the Road with Wdesk

Winnebago Industries, a long-standing U.S. manufacturer of motor homes, struggled with a slow, error-prone SEC reporting process that relied on word processing and spreadsheets. The finance team faced version-control issues, duplicate edits, multiple reviewers and looming XBRL filing requirements, and prior attempts to streamline the workflow had limited success.

Winnebago adopted Workiva’s cloud-based Wdesk, an end-to-end SEC reporting solution that provides a single live document for real-time collaboration, linked data updates, XBRL tagging, EDGAR conversion and electronic filing. Training was quick and intuitive, and the company has already eliminated external EDGARization costs, cut at least 30 hours versus the old word-processing approach, improved accuracy and accelerated the report development and review process, with plans to expand Wdesk’s use across investor relations and proxy filings.
