Structured Planning Across the Business
With more FP&A projects becoming extended planning and analysis (xP&A) projects, it’s becoming increasingly critical to expand beyond finance into additional areas of enterprise planning and analysis, particularly Workforce Planning. Planful’s Summer20 release introduces a redesigned Workforce Planning experience where users can make key customizations to meet unique business needs. It’s intuitive and streamlined, enabling users to navigate with fewer clicks and craft employee rosters with tailored attributes. This allows users to customize workflows with a personalized look and feel.
“After the Planful platform implementation, efficiency and productivity soared due to the free flow of data,” said Kathy Swartz, Finance Manager at Beech-Nut Nutrition Corporation, a baby food company. “Now our finance team can see changes input by other business units as they happen, enabling better, faster, and more collaborative decision-making.”
New Levels of Collaboration
New capabilities for Dynamic Collaboration, which was first announced with the Spring20 release, make this innovative comments feature even more powerful with enhanced filtering, sorting, editing, and highlighting functions. Users can manage, find, and use comments with user-specific functionality that remembers preferences. The new email notification feature makes it easier than ever for users to track and manage comments as team members progress through workflows. Users can also include narratives alongside the numbers, incorporating important decision-making context. With Dynamic Collaboration, teams across the company can align on key activities, having context-rich conversations as they work together to make accurate and impactful decisions.
