Fast-track to smarter planning: A manufacturer’s journey from legacy system to unified planning

When the Finance team at leading US agricultural manufacturer American Crystal Sugar Company was increasingly bogged down by disparate workbooks and planning models, they knew it was time for a change.

What was the goal?

Implement a comprehensive FP&A solution that could unify budgeting and planning across cost centers, streamline collaboration, and support strategic decision-making.

In just six months, the American Crystal Sugar Company replaced its fragmented legacy system with an AI-powered platform that supports annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and complex operational modeling.

What did they achieve replacing their old legacy system with CCH Tagetik? 

A more agile, transparent, and scalable planning process.

In this webinar, hear how one manufacturing finance team accelerated finance transformation and unified their planning processes. Plus, get a preview of what’s next for their business: expanding into long-range and strategic planning.
