Keeping Up With Growth
When Kyle stepped into his role as CFO of Tremont, the company was in a hyper-growth stage, expanding year after year at a strong pace. While their sales and brand presence grew, their back-office finance processes strained under the weight.
“Before Datarails, I was manually updating a P&L in Excel every week, emailing it out, and hoping nothing broke in the process.” Kyle explains.“I’m a one-man finance team, I need to save as much time as possible.”
The complexity of Tremont’s operations added to the challenge. Managing wholesale accounts, retail e-commerce, and customer orders meant Kyle needed a faster way to deliver accurate financial insights without spending hours pulling data and formatting reports.
“It was a lot of downloading, sorting, filtering, and reformatting. Every update took time I didn’t have.”
Efficiency Meets Accuracy
After a colleague’s recommendation, Kyle explored Datarails and quickly saw its potential not just to simplify reporting, but to support the whole company. By connecting directly to Tremont’s accounting system and automating key processes, Datarails replaced Kyle’s manual Excel updates with live, centralized data, reducing the risk of errors and versioning issues.
The platform allowed Kyle to rebuild reports tailored to Tremont’s operations, linking sales to specific products, tracking manufacturing costs, and customizing dashboards for quick insights. He also explored features like drill-downs and formula building, which allow him to dig deeper into the numbers and adapt reports as the business grows.
Creating my own reports and having the data run live from our books is a game changer. It gives me the visibility I need and frees up time to focus on strategy.

Why It Works So Well
Results were immediate. Tasks that once required repeated manual updates now refresh automatically, freeing time for analysis and strategic planning.
Month to month, this is a massive time saver, I’d estimate it’s saving me at least 10 hours a week.
The benefits extend beyond finance, with Datarails helping Tremont make smarter, faster decisions company-wide. Live dashboards give the sales team instant insights into performance trends by product, geography, or timeframe. What once took hours now happens in seconds, providing accurate, accessible data that drives faster decisions.
We can see where we’re selling, where we’re not, and which products are driving revenue. Having that live at all times is a huge advantage.
Scaling, Smarter
For a rapidly growing company managing both wholesale and retail channels across multiple markets, the combination of accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility is critical. As Tremont expands globally, from the US to Australia and the UK, Kyle sees Datarails as a long-term partner, providing the visibility they need and flexibility to grow with the business.
Datarails is a massive help. I know it’s going to be invaluable as we continue to scale, and I can’t imagine going back.
