    Centage is suited for all types of business. This is what makes this tool so great. It requires some expertise in setting it up and depending on how complex the business is, it may take longer than expected. It's a complex system and if you are not involved in the implementtion it might be hard to learn what is does.

    Lucanet is an easy to understand consolidation tool that displays the company's PnL, balance sheets, and cash flow statement in a clear way. The software is intuitive and easy to understand. User access functionalities are good. Dashboarding, reporting, and variance analysis are limited which is a disadvantage compared to other applications who do offer more all-in-one solutions.

    Pros
    Centage
    • Planning personnel with all the related benefit expenses is very accurate and we are able to forecast increases as well.
    • Storing separate versions of the budget allows us to finalize for the year and have access to the data while we update the default plan with any changes.
    • I ilke the way you can add intelligence see the detail of calculations below th eline item.
    • I like writing Planning Maestro reports to see drill downs of any item and tie them to our ERP Budget

    Cons
    Centage
    • Head count is a bit strange as each period is considered one Headcount for a total of 12 per year, so we have to adjust when running reports
    • would love to be able to attach related expenses in payroll to a kind of employee instead of doing each individually. It's time consuming.
    • Have the help more available instead of having to log into separate place

    • Limited dimensions to drill-down to a lower level of detail
    • Limited reporting functionality
    • We used it mainly for consolidation of actuals. As far as I know, limited functionality for variance analysis

    I used to use an older consolidating product call FRX or something like that, very manual where accounts were adding line the reporting lines one by one.... Centage is far superior, the ability to create custom Dimension hierarchies as improved our reporting 100 fold

    Return on Investment
    Centage
    • We were a very small company growing by acquisition so it worked well during these phases of our company growth.
    • The return for our cost was tremendous especially in comparison to peers in the market.
    • Analytics Maestro allowed us to grow without adding headcount by building efficient reports that can easily be mass-produced for all branches within our organization.
