Sonepar Management – Prophix story Business problems that lead to evaluating CPM, adopting Prophix: Both Crawford and Irby were acquired by Sonepar USA. While successful businesses in their own right, they had grown quickly and were using Excel in the case of Crawford and an old version of Outlooksoft at Irby. The existing budgeting, forecasting, and reporting requirements were challenging enough but the new parental reporting requirements became too much to handle and the reporting cycles were too much to handle effectively without other things suffering. Prophix solution: At Crawford, Prophix will be used to streamline month end reporting and reporting to the parent company. Operations are highly centralized so initially it will just be a two user system. Later, Prophix may be rolled out to the stores. At Irby, Prophix will also be used to streamline month end reporting and reporting to the parent company. In addition, Irby plans to use Prophix budgeting to get off the old Outlooksoft, and for other analytics. Irby is more decentralized and so the initial system will have close to 100 users across multiple locations. They will also conduct budgeting and forecasting, in addition to reporting. Future plans: Consolidated reporting across many locations Key business drivers at different locations Time saving in report collation and distribution, and related analysis Initially, Prophix will have limited use cases, but with significant room to grow
