Business Value Delivered
Jade helped Les Schwab maintain a seamless and efficient integration between Workday and NetSuite. As soon as a support service framework was implemented, Les Schwab’s Workday saw a steady improvement in its overall business operations.
The integration through Boomi from NetSuite helped Les Schwab to promptly capture financial system information. The customizations related to the payroll integration created a system of checks and balances to ensure that payroll and benefits were properly reflected in the financial system. As a result, Les Shwab avoided any compliance issues and improved its employee satisfaction.
Les Schwab’s finance team benefited from more efficient reporting, time savings, visibility, and significant improvements in their day-to-day activities. After integrating Les Schwab’s daily Workday general ledger entries (approximately 100,000 entries) into NetSuite, the finance department benefitted from complete visibility into daily revenue, cash, and expenses, and ultimately, a better, faster month-end close experience.
