“We feel much more confident with Planacy”

Cary Group wanted a more secure and time-efficient solution, to reduce the risk of errors – and to integrate their planning solution with Power BI.

Cary Group previously relied on Excel for budgeting and forecasting — a process that became increasingly time-consuming and error-prone as the organisation grew. Looking for a more sustainable and future-proof approach, they began exploring FP&A systems – and ultimately chose Planacy.

“With Planacy, we now have a solution tailored to our organisation that gives us a much greater sense of security. We’ve gone from a heavy and risky way of working to a system that’s easy to manage and seamlessly integrates with our analytics platform, Power BI,” explains Carl Théen, Head of Business Control at Cary Group.

Over time, maintaining their Excel-based setup became cumbersome, and the amount of manual work kept increasing – which in turn raised the risk of errors.

“That’s a problem we’ve solved by implementing Planacy. It’s a simple, user-friendly system that suits a large international organisation like ours, allowing us to work intuitively with driver-based KPIs behind our P&L,” says Carl Théen.

The goal was clear: Cary Group wanted a safer, more efficient solution that would reduce the risk of inaccuracies – and integrate seamlessly with Power BI, which is used for analysis and reporting.

 

“Planacy has made a big impact on how we work. We now have better control over how we build our budgets and forecasts. We also appreciate how easy the system is to administer and how flexible it is – with the potential to expand it further, for example to include approval workflows or budgeting for the balance sheet and cash flow. Even though we haven’t fully explored every function yet, it’s reassuring to know the capabilities are there"
