How Proso AI Helped a Global Manufacturing Enterprise Build Financial Resilience with Workday Adaptive Planning

Overview

How Proso AI Helped a Global Manufacturing Enterprise Build Financial Resilience with Workday Adaptive Planning

A global manufacturing enterprise partnered with Proso AI to modernize its financial planning and forecasting capabilities using Workday Financial Management and Workday Adaptive Planning. The transformation enabled continuous financial planning, real-time business visibility, intelligent scenario modeling, and enterprise-wide collaboration across finance, HR, procurement, and operations.

As economic uncertainty, rising operational costs, supply chain disruptions, and changing customer demand continued to impact global markets, the organization's finance team struggled to produce accurate forecasts and support strategic decision-making using traditional spreadsheet-based planning.

Annual budgets quickly became outdated, planning cycles were slow, and leadership lacked the visibility needed to respond proactively to changing business conditions.

Rather than implementing another disconnected planning tool, Proso AI designed and deployed an intelligent Workday Financial Planning solution that unified finance, workforce planning, procurement, and operational data into a single cloud platform. The result was a connected finance ecosystem that empowered leadership with real-time insights, faster forecasting, improved governance, and greater financial resilience.
