Ultradent brings its Capex processinto one connected platform.

Ultradent replaced a fragmented, manual Capex process with one connected way of planning, approving and following up on investments. The result is better visibility across the organisation, less manual work and around 100 hours saved every month.

The starting point

A Capex process spreadacross too many systems.

Before Weissr, managing Capex at Ultradent involved Excel, SharePoint, InfoPath, Power Automate, Power Apps and Oracle. The capital plan was maintained manually in SharePoint, while budget changes were tracked separately in Excel and uploaded into Oracle.

The approval workflow could break down and often needed someone to step in. Reporting was difficult because information lived in different places. Historical data was hard to access, and the team did not have an easy way to forecast cash flow or quickly evaluate NPV across capital projects.

As Ultradent continued to grow, the process was becoming harder to scale.

One investment lifecycle

One place for planning, approval and follow-up

Ultradent wanted to bring planning, budgeting, approvals, analysis and asset capitalisation into one system, creating a reliable source of truth from the first planning stages through funding, execution and final closure.

With Weissr in place, the team now works from one connected view of planning, approvals, budgeting, project information and actual costs. Approval ownership is clearer, with automated notifications. Project conversations and changes stay with the investment record, and ERP integration supports project setup, actual cost tracking and closure.

“We’ve transformed CapEx management from a fragmented, manual process into a centralized, automated system that gives every stakeholder real-time visibility across the full project lifecycle.”
Van Tran, Director of FP&A at Ultradent Products

Less manual intervention, more time for the investment itself

The clearest change has been time. Work that used to depend on manual updates, uploads and people stepping in to rescue a broken workflow now runs through one process.

“The most significant impact has been the time savings realized from eliminating manual processes.”

Connecting Capex with the ERP

The integration supports project number setup, asset ID creation, actual cost tracking and project closure. Information that previously moved manually between tools now follows a more connected flow from planning and approval into execution and financial follow-up.

For a growing organisation, that reliable movement of investment data is essential to a scalable Capex process.

Better visibility across Finance and the business

Finance, project owners and other stakeholders can work from the same view of the investment and communicate around the project in one place.

“Visibility across all stakeholders has significantly enhanced our ability to plan cross-functionally. From a Finance perspective, the ability to streamline our processes and house them within a single source has been a substantial win.”

Using Capex data to improve future decisions

Ultradent sees the current setup as a foundation. The company wants to continue improving cash flow forecasting, budget management, investment return analysis and encumbrance management.

“Ideally, we would treat Weissr as our ERP system for capital investments. The data housed within Weissr would drive more informed decision-making and provide historical trends to help us improve forecast accuracy over time.”

The opportunity is to use the information built up through the Capex process not only to track investments, but to learn from previous decisions and improve future planning.
