From fragmented processes to one way of working
The company wanted better control of its Capex process, from annual budgeting and investment requests through approvals, execution and follow-up.
The goal was not simply to replace manual work with software. The company wanted a consistent way of evaluating investments, better visibility across the organisation and more time for the decisions that actually matter.
That meant bringing Capex information into one place, standardising financial models and investment requests, and creating clear governance around decisions and changes.
Building the Capex process around the way the business works
Weissr Capex Management was configured around the company's existing investment guidelines, financial models and approval structures.
Together with the central team, Weissr defined the forms, decision structure, permissions and workflows required across the organisation.
Following workshops, acceptance testing and user training, the new system was live within nine weeks.
Instead of changing how the organisation worked to fit a generic system, the Capex process was digitised around an agreed and structured way of working.
More time for decisions, less time managing the process
With requests, decisions and investment data in one system, stakeholders gained greater visibility into both individual projects and the wider Capex portfolio.
The standardised process also made it easier for people across the organisation to understand how investments were evaluated and why decisions were made.
The company reported more than 25% time savings in its Capex process and over 10% better cash flow from its capital allocation decisions.
The result
The company created a more efficient and transparent Capex process across the organisation.
It helped the business:
- Reduce time spent managing the Capex process by more than 25%
- Improve the cash flow impact of investment decisions by over 10%
- Standardise investment requests and financial models
- Create greater transparency around decisions and changes
- Increase stakeholder engagement and buy-in
- Bring budgeting, requests, approvals, execution and follow-up into one system
The result is greater Decision Confidence in individual investments and a more efficient way of putting capital to work across the business.
