Operational Budgeting, Planning, Forecasting and Reporting Software Solutions
Operational budgeting, planning, and forecasting are typically detailed processes which are tedious and time-consuming. Worse still, the consolidated plan often depends on a set of multiple linked Excel spreadsheets and lacks transparency and version control. Corporate Planner OC (Operational Controlling) solves all of these problems simply and reliably and delivers many additional benefits.

It’s a curious fact that in most organizations budgeting, planning, forecasting and reporting processes are dependent on outdated technology and have changed little over recent years. The process typically remains manually driven, Excel based, resource-intensive, time-consuming and potentially unreliable. The result is that budget cycles take many weeks (or months) to complete and when approved, are based on business data that are out-of-date. It means also, that re-forecasts and scenarios are difficult to run, and therefore not done as frequently as the business requires.
Corporate Planner OC
This creates a whole new planning, forecasting and reporting environment which removes the process inefficiencies by enabling users to plan, analyze and report in a robust multi-user database environment. Workflow, version control and user roles and rights ensure a solid foundation. Dynamic automatic consolidation ensures data reliability and a ‘single version of the truth’. Data links to source systems and advanced planning and prediction tools further speed the process. The net result is faster, more resource efficient, more up-to-date planning data, and hence more time for finance and line managers to ‘add business value’ to their plans, instead of just ‘processing data’.
Rolling Forecasts, Re-Forecasting And Scenarios
With connection to your source systems, Corporate Planner OC provides a dynamic forecast, enabling you to react quickly to changing situations. Frequent re-forecasting over rolling periods becomes an easy task, thus ensuring you stay informed on the latest state of your business and the markets. Multiple scenarios at both the operational and strategic level are easy and fast to create and to compare, thus enabling you to evaluate risks and opportunities, adding more value to the planning process.
Teamwork For Performance
Corporate Planner OC helps build collaborative performance management across your team and line managers in the business. Multi-user access to its dynamically calculating database with links to source systems, in-built planning tools and management reports ensures all users, according to their rights, have access to the same ‘single version of the truth’.
