“It was just mountains and mountains of Excel, Everybody has a different version so, when the numbers are different, you have no idea why. You're dealing with consistency issues, 100 Excel models, constant updates, having to wait your turn to get into the main model, [and] difficulty in terms of reporting and completing a presentation. Life before Planful was horrible.”

“We knew the past failures with our prior system and what Planful’s structured capabilities were, and Planful was ticking all the boxes. Using Planful hierarchies, we created a new dimension for resource (lending) departments, and then we married the three dimensions of geography, borrowing/financial reporting department, and resource/lending department to create a hybrid.”

“Our team saved $62K from using Planful because we were able to look at numbers from last year’s event, allocate money appropriately, and remove low-performing or duplicate vendors.”

“We had systems in place that were intended to solve that, but we had challenges with user support and administration, and were heavily reliant on IT. We had to modernize our tech stack.”

“With ongoing supply chain and workforce challenges, we needed a better, faster, and more accurate way to analyze the workforce budgets versus actuals throughout the year. We also wanted to give greater visibility to managers, HR professionals, and operational personnel.”

“We (also) had to constantly recon our reporting because we couldn’t trust the numbers on one report versus another because of the way the data was being pulled (by the reporting tool).”
