Moving from spreadsheet to Cloud
Case study: Meat and Livestock Australia had a manual and error prone method of reporting, and required reliable data-driven information
SNAPSHOT:
When you have close to 50,000 paying members and funding from the government, trying to use spreadsheets for financial management and reporting is stressful and problematic — enough so, in fact, that it sent Meat & Livestock Australia Limited (MLA) to go looking for a modern cloud-based alternative.
The group’s charter is to grow demand for red meat and improve the profitability, sustainability and global competitiveness of Australia’s meat producers. But the organisation was getting bogged down using spreadsheets for strategic planning and reporting back to the thousands of constituents to which MLA is accountable.

“We no longer need to spend time manipulating data, which is a big point. We just hit a button now. We are also automating some of our reporting, and we are on the path to automate much more, so all that time we used to spend checking and setting up reports is now spent on more productive business activities.” — Ben Blinman Financial Planning and Analysis Manager, Meat and Livestock Australia
