Operational planning

One writeback engine. Every plan.

From sales targets to headcount and CapEx, run every operational plan right where the data already lives, and write it straight back to your model.

Sales & revenue planning

Set top-down targets and let regions and reps plan bottom-up, reconciled in one grid, by product, channel and account.

Workforce & headcount planning

Plan FTEs, new hires and payroll by cost center, with salary drivers that recalculate the moment you type.

Demand & S&OP

Align sales, supply and inventory in one rolling plan, adjust volumes and see the P&L impact instantly.

CapEx & OpEx planning

Capture investment requests and operating budgets in one report, route them through approval and keep every decision auditable.

Master data management

Maintain dimensions, hierarchies and lists right in the report, validated on entry and always consistent across every plan.

Contextual commenting

Explain the numbers where they live, threaded comments on any cell, saved with the data for a full decision trail.

For the CFO

A number you can trust

One governed source of truth instead of a patchwork of spreadsheets, so the plan you present to the board is the exact plan living in the system, defensible down to every figure.

  • Faster, confident cycles
    Close and reforecast in days, not weeks.
  • Full audit trail
    Every submitted figure is logged, with who and when.
  • Enterprise control, small price
    Governance of a big platform, at $15/user.
For the Controller

Days back, every cycle

Collect budgets and forecasts straight in the report, no emailing spreadsheets around, no manual consolidation, no copy-paste errors creeping into the master file.

  • One governed grid
    Distribute and collect input in a single place.
  • Validation & approval
    Rules on entry, workflow before it counts.
  • Variance explained in place
    Comments on the cell, not in a side email.
For the BI-Lead

No new stack to maintain

Writeback runs on the Power BI and SQL you already own. Reuse your existing data models, nothing new to license, host, secure or govern on the side.

  • Reuses your models
    No extra semantic layer to build or sync.
  • Cloud, hybrid or on-prem
    Deploy anywhere, with row-level security.
  • Approved on AppSource
    Installs like any visual, live in an afternoon.
