Hershey Case Study with Accounts Reconciliations

After years of expansion, Hershey found its systems and processes, which tracked approximately 4,000 general ledgers across one chart of accounts, required a lot of work to get the insight it needed.

Data was kept in spreadsheets, on paper, and in emails, and was stored in shared drives, local computers, and file cabinets rather than in a central repository.

It was clear that Hershey needed a different approach to account reconciliation..
