N/A. Vena was not involved in the sales process.
N/A, Vena does not help with rapid business decisions. Most decisions we make are long-term.
Vena is a very proficient budgeting and forecasting software. It also helps with automating various operating tasks that are Excel-based. However, there are limitations to it because you cannot quote Vena functions with Macro. Also, the task flow for Vena is a bit clunky and hard to use.
