Reconciliation $410K Variance explained
Two reports, one number, and a $410K gap
Finance and operations reported different revenue for the same month, every month. Nobody could say which was wrong.
Case studies
Work
Short engagements, mostly measured in weeks rather than quarters. Three that show the range: a reconciliation, a report that runs itself, and a workaround retired.
Reporting automation 4h Returned each week
The Monday report that used to take four hours
One analyst spent every Monday morning rebuilding the same workbook by hand. It now lands at 6am, finished.
System integration 1000 Orders a day not touched twice
Manually scanning labels just to run WMS closedown.
The warehouse operator stickered and scanned each order separately even though they were all going to a 3rd party sort center.
System integration 300 Lines no longer retyped
Retyping 300 lines a day between two systems
The warehouse printed a report each afternoon so someone in the office could key it into the finance system. There was no interface, and no budget for one.
