FAQs

Which KPIs are relevant for planning reliability?

Do you really know your key figures? Planning reliability is reflected in the accuracy of forecasts. Central KPIs are the deviation between planned and actual figures, the budget and cost deviation as well as the accuracy of sales and cash flow forecasts. In addition, key figures on forecast stability and the early detection of deviations make it clear how reliable planning is – and how confidently decisions can be made on their basis.

How does Cloudmaven support companies in switching from Excel to structured planning models?

Cloudmaven analyzes existing planning logics and gradually transforms them into scalable, system-supported models. The aim is to achieve a high level of acceptance while reducing manual effort at the same time.

How flexible are planning and forecasting models in changing markets?

The models are deliberately scenario-based. Adjustments to market changes can be made quickly without jeopardizing the consistency of the overall planning.
