“With OneStream we are able to gain near real-time insights to drive the business towards growth and remain agile against today’s rapidly changing business environment.”
Lithion Battery has grown rapidly across the globe, adding complexity to their financial processes. The company needed a solution that could streamline their complex processes and provide scalability to support future growth. Lithion Battery’s reliance on multiple disparate Excel spreadsheets created challenges consolidating financial results via complex workbooks and in processing intercompany eliminations.
The Finance team evaluated IBM, Planful and OneStream as replacement candidates. After several OneStream demonstrations the solution was determined the best fit to address the company’s current needs with the capability of modernizing and streamlining their financial processes as the company continues to grow. OneStream’s Extensible Dimensionality was a key feature for Lithion Battery because it enables the company to enforce their corporate standards while providing the autonomy to plan, budget and report the way their multiple business units need to run their divisions.
“As we examined Lithion Battery’s growth, it became clear that we needed a solution that could modernize our financial close and consolidation processes and serve as a partner to strategically support our future plans,” said Henk Adriaenssens, CFO at Lithion Battery. “With OneStream we are able to gain near real-time insights to drive the business towards growth and remain agile against today’s rapidly changing business environment.”
“We are excited to partner with Lithion Battery to help streamline their financial processes,” said Angel Ramsdell, Commercial Account Executive at OneStream. “OneStream’s capabilities are a perfect match to their needs as a rapidly growing company, with the opportunity to extend their investment as the company continues to expand into new areas. OneStream is able to serve as a strategic business partner for Lithion Battery’s evolving business priorities by providing user flexibility, key insights into business performance and efficiencies across the enterprise.”
