Turning Blockbuster FP&A Stories into Movie Posters

We know.

Case studies talking about the benefits of your amazing product sometimes look like this.

10X growth. 50% time back.

It can be a little hard to get your head around.

But, you know who's good at letting you know what you're getting for your entrance ticket?

The movie industry.

“In space, no one can hear you scream" (Aliens)

"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water" (The only thing people remember from Jaws 2).

So without further ado, here are 3 blockbuster stories of FP&A transformation from recently published customer case studies.

1. Made In Heaven

“They had Quickbooks. They never expected an integration like this.”

Starring Timothy Pico, Controller at ThinkPlumb.

Pico says "We were looking for a tool to marry Excel and accounting software; QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and others."

Takeaway: Datarails has more than 200 integrations. Obviously the big ones are included like QuickBooks and Xero, but Datarails also integrates with your industry-specifc software (from chemical manufacturing, to well, movie accounting software).

2. The Drilldown

"What Secrets Would You Find" if you followed the path of the American Board of Internal Medicine's finance team.

This one stars Robert Kendrick VP of Finance, ABIM

He says: “I love how you can drill down on a number and format what the output is going to look like.”

Takeaway: Datarails allows Drilldowns across all your data instantly uncovering new layers without ever moving to a new screen. You can drill down by account, payroll data, by headcount, and across your multiple systems.

3. Integrity Ignition

They knew auto body repair. But trusting their data was the most exhilarating ride yet."

Every finance team wants extra speed and manoeuvrability. Just ask Jeff Mackay, CPA, CMA Director of Finance, Kirmac, the British Columbia leader in the auto body repair shop industry.

Takeaway: Like most finance teams, Kirmac's spent too much time doing “checks and balances” ensuring data integrity, says Mackay. “Now we just refresh the information and have confidence in our data.”
