What is K4 Analytics capable of?
Build your budgets and forecasts on manual inputs from other systems or data from previous periods. Smooth scheduling boosts the ability to create different versions of plans or features – smart data entry (spread, break-back, blocked totals, cell locking, smart paste, audit trails...). You can enter schedules and plans at different levels, even allow different users who work together to do so. You can also enter schedule templates if needed.
K4 Analytics lets you break down your aggregate plan into a detailed plan. It also takes care of the bottom-up consolidation plan and allocates values based on defined drivers. You can manage any structures (such as cost groups, products, ...), categories and converters to support planning outside the ERP system. If necessary, K4 Analytics makes plans available to other systems, too. SOX rules compatibility or audit planning? No problem!
What our clients say
How to improve corporate planning in three months
“K4 has greatly sped up our process of budget preparation. Now we are able to make the whole budget in one to two weeks if there are no major changes. Before K4 it took as about a month, and I am talking about templates and data consolidation only!”
Financial planning without Excel and midnight coffees
“Under normal circumstances it would take a lot longer and it would be lot more stresful. While working with Excel you have to stay focused at all times, what might be quite difficult especially in challenging situations. Also, errors are more likely to occure.”

“One of the leading leasing companies uses K4 Analytics and Qlik as their main financial planning tool - planning regarding P & L accounts, costs, revenues, balances, employees, wages.``”
