SCG, a leading industrial conglomerate in Southeast Asia, spans over 400 companies across ASEAN and employs more than 50,000 people. Guided by its principles of Inclusive Green Growth, SCG drives innovation and collaboration throughout its supply chain, combining sustainable practices with operational excellence to advance business performance.
In 2019, SCG embarked on a digital transformation journey to streamline financial consolidation and planning across its vast enterprise. The finance team needed a solution capable of handling massive data volumes, ensuring accuracy, and empowering business users to operate independently. Partnering with JustPerform from insightsoftware provided exactly that, transforming SCG’s finance operations and setting a new standard for efficiency and agility.
Before Implementation
Before implementing JustPerform, SCG’s finance and accounting teams struggled with complex, manual processes across more than 400 entities. Disparate systems made data collection and consolidation inefficient, delayed reporting, and limited enterprise-wide visibility, creating bottlenecks that hindered timely decision-making.
To overcome these challenges, SCG sought a future-ready platform that could handle enterprise-grade consolidation and support multi-dimensional planning across products, channels, and business units. After evaluating several vendors, SCG selected JustPerform for its deep financial consolidation expertise and innovative, user-centric technology. Even as a relatively young company, JustPerform’s flexible, modern approach stood out from legacy systems, offering the adaptability SCG needed to transform its finance operations.
During Implementation
SCG’s implementation of JustPerform was seamless and strategically supported by both teams, enabling rapid transformation of finance operations. Within a short time, SCG established a Center of Excellence (COE), empowering business teams to manage processes independently while requiring only minimal ongoing support from JustPerform.
“What we love most about JustPerform is the independence it gives our finance and accounting teams. By setting up the Center of Excellence, our business teams now manage all the processes on their own, with just occasional support from the JustPerform team.”
The implementation also leveraged the Excel add-in, which proved particularly valuable for corporate accounting by enabling faster, smoother data collection and collation. With JustPerform, SCG could effortlessly handle large volumes of financial data while maintaining accuracy and transparency, giving the finance organization the agility and confidence to drive decision-making across the enterprise.
Product Benefits and What’s Next
The impact was immediate and transformative:
- Simplified Consolidation: Built-in business rules made it easy to manage logic for auto adjustments and intercompany eliminations, eliminating manual postings.
- Enhanced Planning and Forecasting: With JustPerform’s multidimensional environment, SCG manages detailed plans—by product, by channel, and by business unit—without silos or complexity.
- Empowered Finance Teams: The intuitive, no-code design means finance users now lead every process end-to-end, with fewer bottlenecks and more time for analysis.

“With JustPerform, we’ve built more than just a customer-vendor relationship. It’s a true business partnership,” says Sujatananda. Following its success in financial consolidation, SCG has expanded the use of JustPerform to planning and forecasting, with plans to scale even further across additional business use cases. This expansion reflects the platform’s flexibility and the strong collaboration between SCG and JustPerform.
SCG’s journey demonstrates that finance transformation is achievable when teams are empowered with the right tools. By simplifying complex consolidation and planning processes, SCG not only improved efficiency but also strengthened ownership and agility across its business, enabling finance teams to operate more independently while driving better-informed decisions across the enterprise.
