Read how other companies are successfully using PROPHIX to enhance their business and improve efficiency.

Performance Management

Thrifty Car Rental - The budget planning for Thrifty Car Rental, a car rental company that is significantly present in the airport and local car rental markets, includes over 85 departments. With the budgeting process mainly involving spreadsheets and their General Ledger, most of the time was spent on entering historical data and preparing spreadsheets rather than planning and analysis. Thrifty Car Rental implemented PROPHIX to eliminate the long hours spent around budget time. Implementation was quick and customer support was impressive. Because PROPHIX has met and exceeded Thrifty Car Rental's expectations, Thrifty extended their use to include PROPHIX's allocation processes and the PROPHIX Excel Add-In.

Toyota Tsusho America, Inc. - Increasing reporting requirements from Toyota Tsusho America's parent company prompted them to seek a data consolidation solution that accommodates multiple organizational hierarchies.

R. E. Phelon - A major challenge for R. E. Phelon was minimizing the time it took to get closing information to end users, so their ideal solution would immediately pull data and clearly present the information in a visual format. They needed to create month-end dashboards that would include sales, production and financial information.

MKS - MKS required a flexible performance management solution in order to produce reliable forecast numbers in a short amount of time. Ruling out Cognos and OutlookSoft early in the process, MKS implemented PROPHIX because the product was self supportive and did not require a lot of external or IT involvement-ultimately offering a low cost of ownership. With PROPHIX's capabilities, MKS was able to completely replace their previous solutions and decrease their forecasting process time by 83%.

Electric Power Board - Initially using PROPHIX purely as a budgeting package, Electric Power Board now uses PROPHIX for all their financial reporting, which easily handles their various federal regulatory requirements. With PROPHIX and new processes in place, improvements have been realized across the organization-from operational managers to upper management.

Restaurant Technologies Inc. (RTI) - Multiple stakeholders are involved in running RTI and are directly affected by business outcomes. A sustainable business is one that is run and managed by the employees. PROPHIX has given RTI the capacity to engage all necessary individuals in running the company. The solution allows and facilitates a user-friendly rollout of all corporate information, be it a new or enhanced report, a corporate scorecard or dashboard and/or the current budget or reforecast.

Robbins Research International - Outgrowing their Excel-based planning capabilities, Robbins Research International, an Anthony Robbins company, implemented PROPHIX for their annual planning, reforecasting, and reporting needs and received over a 500% rate of return from their investment.

SEOS - SEOS has realized some great benefits by using PROPHIX in the finance department and including other managers in the budgeting and forecasting process. Because the reporting aspects of PROPHIX are quick and easys to use, SEOS now uses PROPHIX's reporting features to verify accounts from their Visibility ERP system. In the future, SEOS is planning on creating other models to analyze inventory - empowering more employees, and adding more contributors to making SEOS more profitable.

Budgeting and Reporting

American Alarm and Communications, Inc. - American Alarm previously relied on spreadsheets for budgeting and reporting, which involved many cumbersome, manual tasks. Each branch and department manager would provide spreadsheet budgets, including Lisa Davis, Accounting Manager, who would provide the corporate personnel budget after receiving all the headcounts. All data would be consolidated manually and then go though several revisions by management. Considering the numerous spreadsheet files, the consolidation and revision process would take over one month. American Alarm was ready to move away from spreadsheets and implement a solution for the next budget cycle.

Berks Packing Company Inc. - The need for timely reports and accurate data prompted Berks Packing Company to replace Excel spreadsheets with PROPHIX. With a week of initial implementation and training, Berks created four PROPHIX models - from a budgeting-reporting model to a purchasing model. PROPHIX has directly impacted time and cost savings and has helped improve processes in various areas of the company. Berks now has more time to focus on analysis and take a proactive approach.

American HomePatient - American HomePatient required a solution to solve spreadsheet issues such as security, version control and consolidation. Of the many options, PROPHIX offered the best balance of ease of use and value for American HomePatient - consolidations were automatic and the administration of their budgeting process became much easier. They are now able to spend more time on analysis and focus on business decisions.

Warren Del Caribe - Warren Del Caribe consists of different legal entities in multiple countries and currencies, so consolidating data into a single currency was quite complex in Excel. With PROPHIX, it now takes WDC only ten minutes to convert currencies and create consolidated financials for their central office.

Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce - As a nonprofit organization, Jacksonville Regional Chamber of Commerce required more than Excel spreadsheets for an effective financial management solution. Implemented in a Citrix environment, PROPHIX now helps them manage business factors, such as the various program costs and resources, and allows them to create more reports on a timely basis.

Matcor Group of Companies - Traditionally struggling with budgeting and consolidation in Excel, Matcor Group of Companies can now easily consolidate data with PROPHIX from various general ledger systems into different division hierarchies. Taking advantage of PROPHIX's capabilities, Matcor has significantly streamlined their closing processes.

LWCC (Louisiana Workers' Compensation Corporation) - LWCC, Louisiana's largest workers' compensation carrier, went through extensive training and initiatives for creating a brand and were ready to replace their inefficient Excel spreadsheet-based budgeting system. They wanted a product that would provide ownership, preserve data integrity and offer extensive forecasting capabilities. LWCC decided to implement PROPHIX as their budget management software solution. As a result, their budgeting process was reduced by two and a half months, which allowed them to spend more time on other projects. Overall, LWCC realized better ease of use, improved connectivity, and lower stress levels in upper management. Because of PROPHIX, LWCC is currently saving over $1 million in operational improvements.

Oncore IT - Initially finding it difficult to forecast long-term business based on contractual information, Oncore IT, a supplier of managed IT services to small-to-medium-sized businesses in the UK and other parts of Europe, now uses PROPHIX for multi-year resource planning - ensuring the right resources are in the right places at the right time.
