Customer challenges


  1. Manually Exporting data to Excel (for analysis or more flexible reporting) creates disconnected and ungoverned files. 
    • Data becomes obsolete, almost instantly.
    • Repetitive, time consuming and error prone process
  2. The double-dipping dilemma - Investing a lot of time in planning, budgeting, forecasting, reconciling ledgers in Excel, only to have to manually enter this data in your ERP.
    • changes made in Excel cannot be automatically written back to your ERP.
    • It's a disconnected experience that is inefficient, and sometimes very time-consuming.
  3. Finance teams, whether distributed or not require access to a centralized and trusted source of data for reporting and automating processes without compromising on governance and self-service. A lack of governance can cause great inefficiencies, e.g. multiple versions of the truth or broken collaborations 
  4. Dynamically allocating values to sub-accounts by company, by period if done manually can be a very time-consuming process, and if done in Excel is a repetitive and error-prone process. 
  5. Lack of technical knowledge to create better reporting and eliminate manual tasks.

 


Solutions - Eliminating inefficiencies


  • No more manual Exports to Excel! With Velixo, reports are live, connected to your ERP, automated with fully explorable data within Excel or within your ERP, using Velixo Smart Refresh and Velixo Smart Drilldown.
    • Users simply customize Velixo's base templates or create their own in minutes.
    • Users can quickly analyze any number of a report by drilling down to the underlying transactions in Excel, and then from transactions drilling to the ERP to see the underlying entries.
