Innovation is critical to Chipotle in everything they do including their ERP reporting processes. The finance team at Chipotle spent significant amounts of time manually creating reports, relying heavily on IT, with an output of printed static reports for management. They wanted to be able to spend more time analyzing data from their ERP system and less time performing inconsistent manual calculations or waiting for their report building requests to be fulfilled by IT. Given all the hype about cloud based financial management systems, and corporate performance management, could Excel really be the best tool for Chipotle? Join us as Accounting Systems Analyst, Joe Knipp, Chipotle Mexican Grill shares his company’s journey in marrying Excel to their ERP systems leveraging an innovative Excel-based automation and analysis tools to create a reporting framework that delivers the right information at the right time to the right people to drive results across the enterprise.
