Modern corporate planning: simple, fast, precise - with the antares planner
Are you constantly coming up against the limits of business planning with Excel and the like and are therefore looking for time-saving, intelligent planning software?
Then antares planner is the right choice for you. Specially designed for companies with complex structures, it offers an integrated, web-based software solution with which time-consuming planning steps such as the distribution of planning figures or data consolidation can be largely automated.
The option of multi-dimensional planning (bottom-up planning, top-down planning, counter-current method) allows you to approach your declared goals from different angles.
This gives you fast, precise and scenario-based real-time insights into sales figures for individual products, regional sales trends and variable production costs - helping you to make informed decisions.
In addition, antares planner can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems, allowing you to create a centralized database and maintain established processes.
Functions of the planning software
Key figure and price planning with absolute values and deviations enables structured mapping of planning variables within annual or forecast planning. It is used to reliably record key figures such as sales, costs or quantities and to present changes transparently. Price developments can also be taken into account and integrated into the planning in order to make the effects on the overall calculation visible at an early stage.
Rolling KPI planning enables continuous planning over a defined period of time during the year. It is used to flexibly adapt planning and management to current developments and to continuously update them. A 24-month plan offers an extended planning horizon in order to identify trends at an early stage and make well-founded decisions.
Multi-year planning enables structured planning over a period of up to five years. It is used to map strategic objectives over the long term - either as a top-down approach or over the course of the year with the option of fixing individual planning elements. In addition, memos can be stored for specific coordinates and called up again at any time as required in order to document contextual information or explanations in a comprehensible manner.
Financial planning enables the structured planning of accounts, cost units and cost centers in an annual overview. It is used to transparently record financial targets and transfer budget responsibility to the respective organizational units. Decentralized plan data entry allows cost centre managers to enter and manage their plan values independently.
Condition planning enables the detailed recording and evaluation of condition totals within planning. It is used to analyze deviations and percentages in a targeted manner and to present developments transparently. This allows you to keep an eye on all condition components and make well-founded decisions based on current planning data.
