    FloQast
    I used another vendor for close management before, and comparing the two, FloQast is easier to use and the site navigation is much easier. The looks and feels of the site are more engaging and pleasant. As mentioned before in the previous question, their Journal Entry posting functionality is not suited for a company with multiple entities since it only allows you to book an entry when debits and credits are hitting the same entity

    This is a great platform for a small but quickly growing organization. It works well out of the box without a lot of bells and whistles but can be configured for specific needs. Migrating "legacy" processes, data and culture requires a lot of up front training but is worth the effort. Customer support is top-notch, and a single administrator can manage multiple applications

    Pros
    FloQast
    • Provides a clear status of the month end close.
    • Allows us to analyze tasks by team member and reassign as needed.
    • It syncs with our ERP Netsuite to ensure balance sheet reconciliations can be tied out directly.
    • It also connects with Slack to notify users of key deadlines and changes in review status for team tasks.

    • The applications are linked to each other so that activities can be shared, collaborated and escalated in one platform.
    • Applications are sufficient "out of the box" but can be configured easily with its intuitive Design tools.
    • Users can go to their personal dashboard to stay on top of their tasks across multiple applications and monitor status of activities in progress.
    • The workflow-based applications keep activities moving forward efficiently but following standard processes.

    Cons
    FloQast
    • A setting to allow for attachments to automatically be opened within the app (Adobe, Excel, etc.) rather than as a separate tab in the browser
    • Some of our tasks are quarterly or annual so assigning a very specific date would be helpful
    • Eliminate the need of "closing" review notes. Once we change the status to Resolved, that should be sufficient. Make Resolved and Closed one and the same

    • Although the configuration is a "no code" approach, there is a learning curve to effecting design changes.
    • The user guide documentation provided is OK for administrators but needs to be more user-friendly for general users.
    • Importing "legacy" data from existing processes can be cumbersome.

    It has proven to enhance our procedures with closing. It is an effective tool that I would recommend to create a more efficient closing procedure and get the team more aligned. It increases the accountability among the staff and helps to keep us on task and on time. It is easy to sign into and has reminder emails for tasks that are coming up or late.

    Usability
    FloQast
    FloQast is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is that the Flux Analysis feature is not great in terms of getting the information into the system. Once it's in, fantastic! But some work is needed

    There is always resistance to change, but users are finding Intellect QMS to exceed their expectations as we migrate from our legacy "island" Sharepoint-based processes. Training is actually easiest to do hands-on, and users can learn quickly and then help train others. Users appreciate the personal navigation dashboard and the familiarity of the interface from one application to another. The workflow-driven applications are intuitive and make the system easy to navigate for all levels of users, although the learning curves will vary. The "Design-Test-Live" approach facilitates the implementation of configuration changes suggested by users.

    Reliability and Availability
    FloQast
    We have only noticed a slight slow down in accessing FloQast on a couple of occasions (near the beginning of a month when many people were likely trying to get online to close their books). The issue has always resolved itself with three to five minutes, so it's never been a hinderance.

    FloQast's performance is great. The pages always load quickly, and reports are completed fast! I've never noticed any slowdown in our ERP from the interface with FloQast.

    FloQast
    They are rapid in their response. If they can't immediately offer a solution, they continue to keep in contact with you to let you know where they are in resolving your issues. The staff is friendly & speaks to you in layman's terms, not so high-tech that you can't understand

    In-Person Training
    FloQast
    The FloQast team members are just so personable. FloQast has clearly done a great job hiring people who are not just good at what they do, but are also fun to work with! They have placed people in the right roles and the customer benefits from this. I have enjoyed every opportunity I've had to work with a FloQast team member on training.

    Online Training
    FloQast
    The online training is good. But like all online, pre-recorded training, it is never quite as good as in-person or live training where one can ask questions or get clarification. That said, FloQast has an extensive training library and most of the time, if one finds they need help on a topic, it can be answered by going to the online training and watching appropriate recording.

    Alternatives Considered
    FloQast
    At the time we picked FloQast, they were the most cost effective and easiest tool to use. Fast forward a little bit, and Numeric has come to market. I really lie Numeric to be honest and feel that their pricing is better and for that lower pricing, they include more functions. However, we continued with FloQast for ease of continuity and my team is time strapped. What that said, FloQast is great - nothing wrong with it other than it could be cheaper.

    Scalability
    FloQast
    We started using it with one client/customer and now use it with fourteen entities and plan to add two more in the next couple of months. It has made it possible to grow our business without hiring additional personnel. We can do more work with the same number of people

    Return on Investment
    FloQast
    • Floqast has reduced our closing schedule by roughly 15-20% of the time it took us beforehand.
    • The product has been very beneficial for us during audit time when we can easily demonstrate our control workflows on reconciliation and task approvals.
    • I can update our CFO at any point in time how we are trending towards close and can coordinate with finance as to the moment journal entries have been completed

    • Users appreciate the time and effort saved by having all of the QMS functions connected and in one place, without having to rely on emails, Sharepoint links multiple modes of communication to keep track of their activities and responsibilities.
    • The no-code platform means we don't need IT support to maintain and configure the applications. One administrator was able to get the system launched and effective in just several weeks, with ongoing training and customization as users and applications are added.
    • Our organization was recently certified to ISO 9001:2015. Intellect QMS helped us to navigate internal and audits confidently and effectively.
