Case Study: PlayCore Gets in the Swing of BPM with MDM
PlayCore is a leading playground equipment and backyard products company whose products are sold under the brand names GameTime, Play & Park Structures, Robertson Industries, Ultra Play, Everlast Climbing, and Swing-N-Slide.
Each of PlayCore's six business units has its own separate general ledger (GL) system, and PlayCore corporate has a seventh. Two of them use JD Edwards; three of them use Intuit QuickBooks, while the other two use Sage MAS 200 and MYOB.
PlayCore's challenges centered around:
- Consolidating overall performance results from the seven separate GL systems
- Manual, time-consuming effort to pull detailed information from the different GL systems into the BPM system
- Centralizing class, department, customer, product, account, and company master data.
MDM enables PlayCore to fully leverage their BPM system for efficient, timely analysis. It gives PlayCore the ability to produce quick, correct comparisons and reports on Class, Department, Customer, Product, Account, Company—without worrying about the underlying GL, but with all of the necessary ties to financial statements, enabling them to drill down where necessary.
