Do I have to plan completely without Excel?

Excel offers many options, is flexible and you are supposed to be fast: this is why it is often used and with pleasure, especially in finance departments. Unfortunately, formula errors, version conflicts and data uncertainties appear too often in the planning process. Working with Excel “wallpaper” is usually not much fun.

Professional planning tools eliminate these weaknesses and support a reliable, cooperative and agile planning process. They are a combination of Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and Business Intelligence (BI) and combine the best of both worlds – precise insights, beautiful dashboards and reliable planning. Integrated, reliable data and simplified processes accelerate planning, budgeting and forecasting and create trust. These tools also allow Excel integration, e.g. for entering plan data via Excel, with the plan data being saved in reliable database technology. The smartPM solutions are structured similar to Excel and can therefore be quickly learned by all users.

This is how users rate the smartPM solution

"Before, we needed about 5 to 8 man-days for each forecast and for each budget to prepare the relevant files, i.e. this is only a preparation of the actual data and comparing it with the current plans. And if you talked about 5 to 8 person days, then we are now talking about half a person day and this only serves to check the data for completeness. That is all the work that we now have to do with data preparation.”

"The high flexibility of the software and its intuitive use are convincing all along the line. The reliability of the data and thus the entrepreneurial processes set up give us enormous confidence in being able to process the current situation and various planning scenarios quickly and consistently as a basis for decision-making in the future All in all, we benefit from a very large gain in knowledge about our own data, which gives us a great deal of information about our individual corporate divisions, but also about their respective developments... Of course, this cannot be compared in any way with the future, extremely transparent way of working We also appreciate the high level of competence of the entire smartPM.solutions team, the constant availability of the employees and, last but not least, their business know-how, which was very helpful not least when setting up the planning processes."
