Overall Satisfaction with Vena
VENA is used within Finance as a tool for Management Account reporting; its also used as Budgeting and Forecasting tool to consolidate the figures from multiple teams and pull together useful reports for the Management team. We also use it for Payroll to log hours to check the status of the traincrew hours.
- It consolidates the figures.
- It produce useful information for Traincrews Hours.
- It transfers employees from one dept to another within the budget.
- It would be useful if we could have UK support (to avoid time issues).
- For the system to have checks to ensure data validity.

- We have had to be careful at Budget time as figures have had to run overnight, so haven't always been live.
I understand the implementation of the system from Brian was good The support we are given from Dario and Jester has been excellent, but as they are in Canada, it has been difficult with time issues.
After an overnight, it provides us with a budgeted/forecasted revenue and EBITDA number; we are able to look at this against actuals using cost centers and g/ls.
