Business problem: Fragmented systems slowed close, reporting, and planning
As Clayton grew, finance data, planning, and reporting were spread across legacy systems and homegrown applications. That led to multiple definitions of data, manual reconciliations, and time-consuming close and reporting cycles.
Leaders also lacked consistent, timely insight across business units, making planning and response to market changes more difficult.
Solution and results: Finance first, followed by supply chain, for an integrated suite
Clayton consolidated finance, planning, and supply chain processes on one integrated cloud platform using Oracle Fusion Cloud.
The company implemented Oracle’s finance and accounting solutions in a finance-first phase to consolidate financial data, standardize accounting and budgeting, and modernize planning and close. The company later added supply chain and manufacturing capabilities to align forecasts with execution across supply and demand planning, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics.
Clayton also uses embedded AI capabilities across Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to help automate routine processes and support planning and analysis.
