New partnership with Accobat
We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with Accobat, the provider of accoTOOL — a suite of tools for planning and corporate Master Data management in Power BI. We chose accoTOOL after a thorough analysis and comparison of all available market solutions, as it offers the best combination of functionality and cost, making it accessible even to smaller companies.
Most users see Power BI only as a tool for data analysis and visualization. However, to deliver truly valuable insights, visualizations must compare actual results with plans and other benchmarks.
Many companies still handle planning in Microsoft Excel, which works well on a small scale. But once inputs from multiple users need to be consolidated, plan versions maintained, or rolling forecasts updated and compared to actual figures, it becomes a highly manual and time-consuming process—especially for controlling teams.
A powerful solution is accoPLANNING — a Power BI visual that enables users to securely plan revenues, costs, and any other metrics directly within Power BI.
Companies transitioning from Excel-based reporting to a more systematic Power BI environment often face challenges with Master Data management. Many essential datasets—such as mappings of analytical accounts into internal managerial groups—are still maintained manually in Excel files, making them difficult to link with data from operational systems.
For these cases, accoMASTERDATA is the ideal solution — a Power BI visual that allows users to add, edit, and delete records in master tables and other reference data directly within Power BI.
In addition to offering accoPLANNING and accoMASTERDATA to our clients, we also use them internally for our own planning and Master Data management. We’ll be happy to give you a no-obligation demonstration and discuss how these solutions can be applied in your company.
