Integrator launches plug and play solution in the cloud for budget processes

 

The budget planning and control area consolidates the schedule of all other sectors that operate within a company. It is an activity that requires accurate information and agility to generate reports in an accounting view and can become a problem for companies that do not do it correctly, especially in periods before the new fiscal year, when companies plan for actions of the year and, as a premise, they must fulfill what they have outlined.
 
To support companies in ensuring and efficiently creating and controlling their budget planning, Sonda IT, one of the largest Latin American Information Technology companies, launches a plug and play solution that automates and centralizes strategic information, generating budget analysis and forecasts, in addition to saving time to perform scenario simulations.
 
The solution is made available in the cloud in the integrator's environment through its Data Center or can be installed in the company's environment. “Budget planning, although essential, is still an incipient activity, usually carried out in spreadsheets, which makes it fragile and out of control. Our idea is to provide a flexible environment that helps companies adapt according to new needs, making them increasingly competitive and establishing a corporate governance model based on global best practices”, explains the Director of Analytics & Big Data. from Sonda IT, Eduardo Pugliesi.
 
In budget management, the tool can, for example, generate forecasts and interdependent scenarios, such as simulating the percentage of Ebitda, product cost, sales and inventory quantity and simulation results and the impact between them, in addition to generating all indicators relevant to this process, whether by seller, production or any other data. To make the information available, management dashboards can be created or simply connect the tool to the company's BI (Business Intelligence), both to collect and to make information available. In addition to keeping all history managed with a workflow mechanism controlling schedules for launches and deadlines, as well as access controlled by profile.
 
In addition, the solution is ready to be parameterized for other needs, such as payroll, Human Resources, production, cost and revenue, among other areas that require planning, control and automation.
 
With the use of the tool, it is possible to reduce 30% of the planning cycle, 50% of the simulation time, 60% of the report creation time, 40% of the IT effort to support the business processes and still have an increase of 40% in the reliability of the information . In all, 50 companies have already implemented the tool. Among them is Gomes da Costa, a fish canning industry. “Our biggest gain with the solution was reliability. We achieved this quality with direct input into the system in a single format. Furthermore, the decentralization of the budget generated a new culture of responsibility towards other areas, establishing a new model of corporate governance. It is important to mention that we also acquired other gains that are outstanding, such as control, analysis and agility in the consolidation of data”, concludes Anna Caroline Stem, controller at Gomes da Costa.
