Spreadsheets offer no assistance in pinpointing the most important drivers for an organization. It can be time-consuming for business leaders who are working from spreadsheet budgets to deduce which drivers they need to use for driver-based budgeting.

This dilemma is why many organizations opt for an automated budgeting and planning software platform to handle their budgeting tasks.

This type of budgeting tool performs better than spreadsheets by:

🔹 Analyzing the impact of internal and external drivers quicker and more succinctly.

🔹 Creating consistency across the business.

🔹 Establishing a more transparent, trustworthy process.

🔹 Offering scenario simulations to help leaders identify and plan for unexpected occurrences.

🔹 Streamlining the time and effort it takes to gather budget data.
