Denmaur Independent Papers Ltd

Denmaur Independent Papers Ltd, one of the UK’s leading paper merchants, initially adopted Panintelligence to address inefficiencies in its financial reporting processes. What began as a tactical solution for the finance team quickly proved its strategic value. Today, Panintelligence is a cross-functional platform embedded across Denmaur’s operations and is becoming a core element of their customer offering. Looking ahead, the platform is central to Denmaur’s approach to regulatory reporting and ESG compliance—transforming internal insight into a commercial differentiator in an increasingly regulated market.

Prior to implementing Panintelligence, Denmaur’s finance team spent an estimated 40 hours per month manually producing reports. Reporting processes were fragmented, inconsistent, and reactive, with data locked in spreadsheets and disparate systems, causing delays and misalignment across teams.

“Reports were static and slow. We were spending hours manually generating PDFs that were out of date before they were used. There was no central source of truth.”

The introduction of Panintelligence allowed Denmaur to rapidly automate core financial and sales reporting. Live dashboards replaced outdated workflows, enabling real-time visibility and shifting the finance function from a reactive role to a strategic one.

With finance reporting stabilised, Denmaur rapidly extended Panintelligence across operational, commercial, and sales teams. This broadened access to data and enabled team leaders to make faster, data-informed decisions.

Adoption & engagement:

• User base grew from 5 core users to 40+ active users across teams
• Following the rollout of strategic dashboards, dashboard usage increased by over 70%
• Admin and sales staff now access data directly without involving finance or IT

Operational benefits:

• Sales teams now review live performance metrics before customer visits
• Commercial teams track product performance by category, region, and campaign
• Visual filters and drilldowns reduce data interpretation time by over 50%

“We now track product strategy in real time. Previously, we simply wouldn’t have run the reports—now it’s all in front of us, every day.”

Quantified Impact Overview

Denmaur is now extending the power of Panintelligence to its customers by developing branded, self-serve portals. These will provide clients with on-demand access to live dashboards, including order history, product usage, and environmental metrics such as Scope 3 carbon emissions.

“This takes us from being a paper supplier to a strategic partner. Customers can self-serve carbon data, product usage, and compliance reports—without waiting days for a manual export.”

Regulatory and Commercial Impact

The shift is not just about customer service—it’s also about risk management and futureproofing. With sustainability and chain-of-custody reporting becoming central to procurement processes, Denmaur is using Panintelligence to stay ahead of evolving expectations.

“Right now, we can do it—but it’s manual, slow, and relies on someone running a report. We want customers to log in and get what they need instantly.”

Regulatory value:

• Scope 3 emissions data, previously handled manually, is now automated and reportable
• 100% reduction in time required to compile and distribute compliance reports
• Supporting £500K+ in new business opportunities through improved ESG credentials

Risk reduction:

• Failure to provide ESG data could lead to indirect disqualification from key EU tenders
• Automation avoids an estimated £100K+ per annum in manual compliance costs

“There is a real cost of doing nothing. If we don’t offer this, we risk being locked out of deals altogether. For some customers, if you can’t prove compliance, you don’t get through the door.”

By embedding compliance reporting directly into its BI platform, Denmaur is simplifying internal processes, protecting future revenue streams, and presenting itself as a low-effort, high-trust supplier to its customer base.

“This puts us ahead of the market. We’re solving our customers’ reporting headaches before they even ask.”

Panintelligence has evolved from a finance tool into a foundational platform that spans functions and fuels strategy. What began as a project to streamline reporting now plays a central role in how Denmaur operates, competes, and engages with customers.

Denmaur’s journey demonstrates that when data is made timely, visible, and actionable—it becomes more than a tool. It becomes a strategic asset.
