The surge in adoption for Solution 7 highlights a key trend: finance leaders are prioritizing tools that integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. For millions of professionals, this means Microsoft Excel. Solution 7 meets this need by bridging the gap between powerful ERP data and the familiar Excel interface. This allows finance teams to build, update, and audit board-ready financials, compliance statements, and forecasts using the formulas and workflows they already know. The result is a transformation of reporting from a recurring challenge into a strategic asset, with updates that once took hours now happening in seconds.
"We switched over to a new ERP about three years ago and then discovered Solution 7 and it pretty much revolutionized all of our reporting," said Jeremy Staunton, Assistant Controller at Ready Capital. "We were able to use the ERP to its fullest and still use our spreadsheets to do all of our financial statements. It's been a fun ride - really enjoying it."
The success of Solution 7 is measured not just in growth but in the tangible benefits reported by its users. Finance teams consistently save more than two days per month on their close and reporting processes. Beyond time savings, the solution eliminates version control issues and provides absolute confidence in data accuracy. This reliability is critical for companies that cannot afford mistakes or missed deadlines, especially during high-stakes periods. The solution’s high retention rates serve as proof that it consistently performs, moving beyond hype to deliver dependable value.
