Public Sector Software for Better Budgeting, Forecasting & Analytics
Plan, fund and report with confidence across local and central government with Mercur’s public sector software.
The Challenges Facing Public Sector Finance
Public sector finance teams often deal with:
Pressure to manage tight budgets and uncertain funding
Regulatory and compliance requirements that must be met for audits
Manual spreadsheets and separate systems that make reporting cumbersome
The need to provide clear and reliable reports to stakeholders
These challenges make planning, budgeting, and reporting slow, error-prone, and stressful. Many finance teams spend more time gathering data than producing useful reports or managing resources effectively. That’s where Mercur’s public sector software can help, providing a single platform to manage budgets, forecasts, and reporting in a structured and practical way.
A Unified Platform for Public Sector Planning
Mercur’s public sector software gives finance teams the tools to manage their budgets, forecasts, and reporting with confidence and clarity, all in one platform.
1
Integrated Budgeting & Forecasting
Plan multi-year budgets, rolling forecasts, and scenario models without relying on spreadsheets. Reduce repetitive work, manage resources more effectively, and focus on producing meaningful reports.
2
Performance Reporting & Analytics
Monitor departmental performance and KPIs with dashboards and reports designed for government use. Produce statutory and regulatory reports efficiently, saving time and reducing errors.
3
Collaboration Across Departments
Finance teams, department heads, and agencies work on the same data, cutting down on mistakes and duplicated work. Everyone has access to the same information, making reporting and coordination easier.
4
Regulatory & Compliance Reporting
Generate audit-ready reports with clear tracking of changes. Stay compliant with government rules, and simplify the audit process without creating extra work for your team.
Pre-Built Templates and Reports for Local Government
Mercur enables finance teams to create the reports and templates they need for local government budgeting and reporting:
Operating and capital budget templates
Grant and funding allocation reports
Audit-ready variance reports and budget books
Clients can build any report themselves, and Mercur’s consultants are available to assist in designing and implementing customised reports to meet specific requirements. This approach gives finance teams full control, reduces manual effort and ensures reporting meets their organisation’s needs.
