Overall Satisfaction with Planful
We rely on Planful for a range of tasks, including monthly
reporting, budgeting, forecasting, report distribution, and managing ad-hoc
requests. It's been a game-changer for our finance team & company as
a whole. Before we implemented Planful, we were relying
on manual Excel files to handle reporting and budgeting. These files were so
large that they frequently crashed, wasting countless hours just trying to
recover lost edits.
With over 200 locations and a growing team of
1,000 to 2,000 employees, our old processes were no longer sustainable or
scalable. As the company continues to expand, it became clear that we needed a
more efficient solution. That's when we turned to Planful and never looked back. In our first year of use, we’ve saved hundreds
of hours by automating majority of our reporting process. We're now in our second budget cycle with Planful, and
we've had very little negative feedback. What once took days of manual work is
now handled efficiently and seamlessly, allowing our team to have
more availability for analysis.
