In their words
“Charlie and the MCC team helped us break down our month-end close process and quickly identify the real bottlenecks. Even though the solution was upstream of their tooling, the conversation gave us clear next steps to improve the workflow.”

Monthly reporting moved out of manual Excel and into Vena, and now it flags when someone changes a closed period in NetSuite.
“I found inconsistencies from how I was doing things before, and now this forces a level of consistency. And frankly it better highlights when I find things that we have gone back and changed in NetSuite in closed periods. All of a sudden, wait a minute, this looks different than how I reported last month. So it helps me catch things that we shouldn't have done.”

Three entities, two ERPs, and the hardest line in the consolidation finally shows its math, after moving from Planful to Vena.
“I think Vena is much more flexible for our needs and more robust than Planful was. All we did with Planful was upload trial balances. So the fact that Vena has all of our general ledger detail right there is extremely helpful.”

A project expected to be complicated turned out smooth
“The project that we thought was going to be really complicated turned out to be a very smooth project, and I’m very happy with the results. We were able not just to bring the data we needed for seamless reporting, but also to upgrade and improve our capabilities. The greatest part was the communication and flexibility - having open communication and feeling comfortable asking questions was definitely the key to the success of everything.”
