Overall Satisfaction with Centage
Datalogics uses Planning Maestro for its annual plan and any updates. Any company worth its salt knows that planning is >50% of success! Having a real time web-based tool makes the planning process easier. Centage was able to do a one-way integration with our older ERP Dynamics SL, loading our actuals into Planning Maestro. The implementation and support we receive from Centage is very good. We were able to get up and running in the expected the frame.
- 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
- The Analytics Maestro reports are pretty confusing to create and update. I wish it worked as well as Management Reporter. I continue to load budget into Dynamics SL and run reports there at the GL account/subaccount level
- I wish that vendors and customers were based structures that could be auto-updated from my ERP like GL accounts. I have to add them manually.
- Having to manually update our cube seems unnecessary. Shouldn't the cube update itself whenever we make a change?
- Without Centage we would not have a plan
