Float Yard Ltd
Float is great for a startup/small (< 20 employee companies) that have limited resources for keeping an eye on cash flow. Yes, you could hire a contractor CFO, but it would simply be less expensive to use Float and educate yourself a bit about cash flow. For larger companies I feel like you would have a dedicated financial controller or CFO that may already have tools they are familiar with, but this service might also still be useful.

Planning, financials, and even sales tracking are greatly helpful for project planning. This makes product planning easy; you can simply see what the industry is demanding and what should be produced more in coming quarters. If you have really huge data, then this sometimes crashes.

Pigment helped us a lot to improve our data integration and financial planning processes, which helps us to save some time on these tasks. By automating all the data imports from the other tools we use, we don't need to do all these tasks manually. And details reports and analysis helped us to cut data preparation time by at least 60%

Unlike other tools, Pigment provides seamless data integration and imports from other tools. Importantly integrations are most useful for us, and it has integrations with most of the tools we use.
