Regional Retailer Cuts Month-End Close to 2 Days
A regional multi-store retailer

- Stores unified on one system
- 12
- Duplicate data entry eliminated
- 100%
The challenge
A 12-store regional retailer ran accounting in a legacy desktop tool and inventory counts in per-store spreadsheets. Month-end close required manually reconciling both sources — a process that took up to 9 days and routinely surfaced inventory discrepancies too late to act on.
The implementation
llwso.com’s team migrated historical accounting data into llwERP, connected inventory counts across all 12 stores to a single source of truth, and trained store managers on the new workflow over two weeks.
The results
Month-end close dropped from 9 days to 2. Store managers now see inventory levels in real time instead of end-of-week spreadsheet exports, and the finance team eliminated duplicate data entry entirely.
“We used to dread month-end. Now it’s a two-day formality instead of a two-week fire drill.” — Finance Director, regional retailer client
