Clarity Budgeting

Budgeting with Clarity 6 software gives you control over the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of your budgeting process. Whether you are preparing your corporate plan, capital budget or your divisional budget, Clarity 6 software easily facilitates your budget planning – at the granularity that you need.

The features of Clarity 6 Budgeting include:

• True Excel look and feel on the web. Your users have been working with Excel day in and day out. Since Clarity 6 software is an Excel-compatible application, your users will adapt easily to using Clarity 6 Budgeting.
• Secure centralized database. If you are using numerous spreadsheets to create your budget planning, you do not have a single source of truth. Different assumptions in different spreadsheets mean conflicting data. Clarity 6 software gives you the single source of truth through its centralized database.
• Collaboration. With Clarity 6 software, you can easily have a few or thousands of planners contribute the numbers and make changes and still be able to keep track of what has changed and roll the data back if required.
• Ease of use. With Clarity 6 software, you can submit your budget data by inputting into a template online or by uploading a spreadsheet. With a click of a mouse, you can allocate your budget across periods and adjust your budget by a percentage. You can use a previous year’s budget or last year’s actuals as the starting point for your new budget plan.
• Top down or bottom up. Clarity 6 software can handle top down budget planning where corporate sets the goals and pushes down the requirements to the departments. Our Allocation feature can do this for you. Clarity 6 can easily create a budgeting plan from the bottom up – building a higher level budgeting plan from a more detailed budgeting plan.
• HR & Capital Planning are built in. No need to buy another budgeting software package to do your HR and Capital Planning. Clarity 6 software has both built-in already – making it easier for you to track and control two of your largest expenditures.
• Quick access to line item details. The Clarity 6 Line Item Detail feature allows you to track your budget items in more detail. You may want to itemize the travel that your group will take in the budget year. You can easily drill down into this detail when necessary.
• Ease of deployment. Our state of the art web technology allows you to disseminate your budget planning preparation to anyone in the organization without having to load the budgeting software on each person’s computer.
• Up to date tracking of progress. Are you currently unsure who has submitted his budget or whether an approver has reviewed her department’s budget? The Clarity 6 Workflow feature allows you to monitor the budget planning cycle as closely as you need.
