    Centage
    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.

    Pros
    Centage
    • Planning personnel with all the related benefit expenses is very accurate and we are able to forecast increases as well.
    • Storing separate versions of the budget allows us to finalize for the year and have access to the data while we update the default plan with any changes.
    • I ilke the way you can add intelligence see the detail of calculations below th eline item.
    • I like writing Planning Maestro reports to see drill downs of any item and tie them to our ERP Budget

    Cons
    Centage
    • 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 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

    We also used Spotlight reporting before we tried out Fathom and we found Fathom much easier to navigate and Xero integration, consolidation are very strong feature of the product. Spotlight reporting is similar to Fathom however, Fathom is more flexible, there are better visual reports and grafts and we found it easier to customize the reports templates. You can also share the reports with multiple group of people online.

    Return on Investment
    Centage
    • We were a very small company growing by acquisition so it worked well during these phases of our company growth.
    • The return for our cost was tremendous especially in comparison to peers in the market.
    • Analytics Maestro allowed us to grow without adding headcount by building efficient reports that can easily be mass-produced for all branches within our organization.
