We are a financial services provider operating in the investment business (investments in portfolio companies) and are looking for new software for reporting and reporting systems.
We have the following requirements for the software:
- Import and export:
- Import xlsx and csv data formats - Import of summary balance lists and key figure lists (number of employees by location, full-time equivalent (FTE), cash inflow)
- Data import from multiple companies – summary balance lists from approx. 15-20 companies are imported monthly
- Import of bookings (no summary balance lists) – if a company is insolvent and no longer provides summary balance lists, the program should be able to import all incoming bookings
- Import of data in English
- Export of data to MS Excel
- Migration of current data and legacy data from the existing software that is to be replaced
- Evaluation:
- Display or presentation of P&L (profit and loss) and balance sheet per company
- Display of actual and planned values (weekly, monthly, annually) per company
- Deviation analysis of actual and planned values
- Display or presentation of forecast values
- Distinction between internal and external (portfolio companies) planning
- Mapping or presentation of key figures: investments, cash inflow, liquid funds
- Consolidation of values and key figures, e.g., summary of values from parent companies and subsidiaries
- Presentation of data in one-pagers per company
- Graphical representation of key values, e.g., sales development, working capital
- Recognition and reporting of new cost centers, i.e., notification to defined users
- Variability in cost types, i.e., one company posts these costs under one cost center, another company under another; the software should create and display references to the cost centers in the background
- Account display in several structure levels (account classes, account groups, account subgroups)
- Design:
- Easy navigation; direct access (with just a few clicks) to the lists and evaluations relevant to the respective user; goal: “efficient working”
- Color representation of numbers and graphics
- Technical requirements:
- Provide demo version
- Access also via mobile phone, tablet
- At least 2 users can work with the program at the same time
- Support availability: 5 days a week; availability must correspond to at least German business hours
- Server installation or cloud solution
2-3 software workstations are required. We request detailed information on the expected license and support costs (both for problems in daily operation and for program extensions).
