Streamlining Global Consolidations at Penske Corporation

Penske Corporation replaced complex, manual workflows in SAP BPC with OneStream, cutting consolidation logic from 4,000 lines to 300 and accelerating processing speed by 6x.

The challenge

Penske Corporation–a global leader in transportation services and car dealership operations–relied on SAP BPC to manage financial consolidations. Over time, the system struggled to meet the needs of a growing enterprise:

  • Manual data loading and aggregation slowed down processes and introduced risk.
  • Overly complex consolidation logic (over 4,000 lines in BPC) made maintenance difficult and error-prone.
  • Lack of automation and centralization complicated reporting, compliance, and internal controls.

The finance team needed a more efficient, scalable solution that would reduce manual effort and improve reporting accuracy.

The process

Penske partnered with SandPoint Consulting to implement OneStream as a modern, unified consolidation and reporting platform.

Key steps included:

  • Designing a streamlined consolidation model: Consolidation logic was rebuilt from the ground up, cutting it down from 4,000+ lines in BPC to just 300 lines in OneStream.
  • Automating data integration: OneStream was integrated with NetSuite and Reynolds & Reynolds, eliminating the need for manual data loading.
  • Building an auditable data repository: Actuals, forecasts, and plans were centralized in a single, controlled environment.
  • Creating a foundation for future growth: The solution was designed to support additional use cases over time, including planning and forecasting.

SandPoint’s hands-on approach ensured a smooth transition, combining technical expertise with deep finance and accounting knowledge.

The result

The move to OneStream transformed Penske’s finance operations:

  • 6x faster processing speed compared to the legacy BPC solution.
  • Dramatically simplified consolidations, with logic reduced by over 90%.
  • Improved data accuracy and consistency through automation and integration.
  • Greater visibility and control across the enterprise, supporting faster and more confident decision-making.

Penske now has a scalable, efficient platform that supports global operations and positions their finance team for long-term success.

Penske cut down consolidation logic from 4,000 lines in BPC to 300 lines in OneStream–accelerating processing speed by 6x and streamlining global reporting.
