1. The Problem: When Reporting Becomes a Performance Bottleneck
Many companies today find themselves trapped by their own Excel® tools.
What was meant to simplify analysis has become a source of delays and frustration:
• Multiple extractions,
• Unstable files,
• Ever-longer production times.
Finance teams spend days — sometimes weeks — consolidating data, while management waits for reliable information delivered faster.
Decision-making is always one step behind.
2. The Expectations: Reliability, Simplicity, and Responsiveness
The observation is clear:
Finance departments want to save time without losing control.
Their goal is not just automation, but also to:
• Ensure the reliability of figures,
• Eliminate manual data entry,
• Access up-to-date multi-entity reports,
• And adapt easily to growth or group changes.
To achieve this, they need a simple, fast-to-deploy solution that works with their existing tools.
