Simultaneous data entry, validation rules, role based security, calculated fields, functions and the ability to lock cells offer accuracy and efficiency during the planning process and facilitate the propagation of changes to dimension and hierarchy levels.
Search for information from the planning process until operational process levels and vice-versa, with complete synchronization between the two. Make changes to business data or indicators and immediately notice their impact over other business areas, thus gaining complete transparency.
Change data from any stage of the planning and forecasting processes and add new business units, products, markets or investments in a controlled way in any step of the cycle, simulating afterwards the effect of a new scenario over the entire business model.
CPM automatically detects the best algorithm to apply to a data set, based on past events. By creating competition between different algorithms, the system is smart enough to determine what will generate the most accurate forecast.
