Input on budget figures
Cross-functional collaboration – without losing control
Work smarter by gathering input on your organization’s key drivers – all within a structured process that includes task management, automated workflows, and full control over progress.
Enable effective collaboration and break down silos
Turn budgeting and forecasting into a team sport – with a standardized, secure, and collaboration-friendly solution that brings the entire organization into play.
- Reduce dependency on individuals: When everyone works in the same solution, the process becomes less vulnerable and easier to follow up.
- Manual reminders become a thing of the past: Assign tasks with a single click – and let the system remind people about what's still pending.
- Get numbers with context – not just totals: Users can comment on deviations and assumptions directly, so you’re not left guessing what’s behind the figures.
- Eliminate time thieves and data entry errors: Say goodbye to Excel issues like formula errors, heavy spreadsheets, and poor version control.
- Full control over status: Track progress across departments and see who has delivered – without having to ask. All input is directly linked to your driver-based model and financial plan.
