Cavco Industries, a leading producer of manufactured homes in the United States, has undergone a significant financial transformation. To address mounting operational complexities and support its continued growth, Cavco leveraged BlackLine's suite of accounting automation solutions to enhance efficiency, visibility, and strategic focus
As a major player in its market, Cavco's growth amplified existing challenges. With multiple ERPs and 70 accounting individuals across the country, the team relied on what senior accountant Trevor Thompson described as "a very complicated and expansive workbook in Excel" for critical reporting. This manual process was not only time-consuming but also introduced significant risk. "The moment you extract the data, 30 minutes later, your data's wrong or inaccurate," Thompson explained. This forced the team to spend valuable time validating data instead of "focusing on the analysis behind the numbers."
As the company scaled, manual processes like cash application became an "immeasurable task," according to Corporate Controller, Mark Fusler, signaling a clear need for a more automated and strategic solution.
The adoption of BlackLine has yielded significant and measurable benefits for Cavco, transforming its finance and accounting operations into a proactive, strategic partner to the business.
Looking ahead, Cavco plans to continue its journey of innovation with BlackLine. The next major initiative, Haughey explained, is “making sure that our friends in Texas, California, all across the country, are able to utilize the same knowledge that we have.” The team is also exploring other BlackLine solutions, such as the Journal Risk Analyser and Studio360, to further enhance its operations.
Cavco's story is a testament to the power of combining a forward-thinking culture with the right technology. By embracing the concept of Unstoppable Finance through automation and continuous improvement, Cavco has transformed its finance and accounting function into a strategic asset, well-positioned to support the company's continued growth and success
