Mörbylånga Municipality previously used Visma Budget och Prognos for its budgeting and forecasting processes. The solution was difficult to use for the managers and departments working with it, and the municipality lacked support for simulations.
“Our previous solution was not user-friendly for our operations and lacked convenient simulation features. The forecasting functionality was also difficult to use,” explains Torun Jarnesjö, Controller at Mörbylånga Municipality.
Today, Mörbylånga Municipality manages much of its budgeting and forecasting in Planacy: HR budgeting, budget allocation, volume budgeting, operating budgets and forecasts, as well as investment budgets and forecasts. Planacy is integrated with the municipality’s BI platform, Qlik, which provides actuals for finances, personnel and volumes.
“It is convenient to import actuals for finances, personnel and volume data directly from Qlik. This means we only need one integration with Planacy, which saves time,” explains Torun.
With a single integration, all actuals are brought together in one place, and budgets and forecasts are based on the same data across the municipality. This has transformed the way both the finance function and the operational departments work. Jonna Åberg, also a Controller at Mörbylånga Municipality, explains:
“With Planacy, we can create personnel forecasts more easily and quickly, while making it simple for the operational departments to work with them too. We have reduced the need for manual work, for example in Excel. We have established a more consistent way of working than before,” says Jonna.
The collaboration during implementation also went well.
“The project went very smoothly, and Planacy understood our needs. We got started as planned, and the support team always responds quickly,” concludes Jonna.
