Core Features for Budgeting and Forecasting
1. Flexible Inputs
Accelerate your planning process with our flexible input functionality, which can be used for traditional financial planning and detailed planning of sales, production, projects, HR and more.
As you enter data, Mercur shows you relevant historical figures or other reference values right alongside your inputs, so you’re never guessing. Need more context? Just click to drill into the details and view past transactions, line items and scanned invoices all in one place.
When you’re ready to look further ahead, build strategic plans and long-range forecasts with as much detail and flexibility as you need.
2. Currency conversion and Distributions
Mercur Business Control® comes with currency conversion as standard functionality, allowing you to automatically convert and simulate different exchange rate scenarios or create reports adjusted for exchange rate differences.
Do automatic distribution or allocation of centrally planned items according to predefined rules like consumption rates, internal services ratios and area in square meters. As soon as you enter data, Mercur consolidates everything instantly, so you can start analysing results across all levels without delay.
3. Work Process Control
With the integrated module for work process control, managers at all levels have full control over the progress of work. They can quickly identify what stage in the process each employee has reached. Easily set up automatic messages that notify your team when a budget or forecast is opened, when a deadline is approaching or when a user marks their work as complete.
4. Scenario simulation
Use scenario simulation to quickly analyse the effects of changing circumstances and developments at various levels. For example, if the business or planning drivers for a department or a product change, the system can make an immediate recalculation and display the result.
