108 Planful Testimonials

“We have very aggressive growth goals. We’re doubling revenues and profits year over year over year. Host Analytics is allowing us to grow, invest and perform at the level we need, which is why we renewed our contract again.”

“As a utility, our focus is cash and our only customers are rate-payers. So, we must be very, very careful with how we plan and how detailed our budgets are because there is the potential for a lot of scrutiny. With me just coming on board and more detailed requests from above, it was a good time to optimize our financial processes, and Planful was a big part of that.”

“[Planful] gives us peace of mind knowing we can make quick adjustments and understand exactly where our money is being spent and the outcomes of that spend.”

“Planful made it work. That’s indicative of the fact that Planful is actually a pretty easy system to implement. Now we’re using Planful Workforce Planning on a daily basis, enhancing our reporting, and doing regional services forecasting, which we weren't doing before. That is directly facilitated by Planful.”

“We were being very reactive because we wouldn’t see the increase in raw materials costs until it came through on our financial statements.”

“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.”

"Planful for Marketing saves us 2-3 hours a week and ensures that 99% of our budget is optimized for performance."

"I use Planful for Marketing because its not finance’s job to make me a better marketer – I need to know what’s making the most meaningful impact everyday not 60-90 days after the quarter."

“Before I used Planful for Marketing, I used to cry a lot.”

“We love being able to manage campaigns and budget allocations, see results and breakdowns in one platform. If it was in Planful for Marketing, we’re confident it was accurate."

“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.”
