Brixx vs. Centage

Brixx works exceptionally well in young, growing businesses where detailed finance expertise might not be available at the Board. It's structure also works well in fast-paced environments where there is the need to quickly determine the financial viability of a business venture, new product/service or programme. I have no scenarios where it is less well suited. The only "push-back" Ive ever had has been from spreadsheet obsessed "old school" finance officers, but in most cases, once they are fully exposed to the Brixx platform, their level of scepticism decreases sharply - but there are always those out there wedded to MS Excel...

Centage is suited for all types of business. This is what makes this tool so great. It requires some expertise in setting it up and depending on how complex the business is, it may take longer than expected. It's a complex system and if you are not involved in the implementtion it might be hard to learn what is does.

• Head count is a bit strange as each period is considered one Headcount for a total of 12 per year, so we have to adjust when running reports
• would love to be able to attach related expenses in payroll to a kind of employee instead of doing each individually. It's time consuming.
• Have the help more available instead of having to log into separate place

I've lived through the changes over the years, and I have found that most financially-minded professionals should have no problems using this system.

The team makes sure that you get what you need out of the software. They will do whatever is in their power to make sure you're happy and are getting back your investment (time and money).

Brixx presents non-finance business leaders with its dashboards, which translate complex financial models into user-friendly, highly intuitive and impactful visual data. No other package I have used does so in such a powerful manner. At the same time, the back-end data capture and analytics is suitable for even the most stringent due diligence

I used to use an older consolidating product call FRX or something like that, very manual where accounts were adding line the reporting lines one by one.... Centage is far superior, the ability to create custom Dimension hierarchies as improved our reporting 100 fold
