First, we’d like to acknowledge the Pigment team. Just like us, they saw a problem in the market and they built a solution for consolidated reporting.

While custom planning tools are designed to model future projections, they do not generate your actual financial reporting out of the box. BrightAnalytics steps in where planning tools end. We automatically combine your real-time cash flow, profit and loss (P&L), balance sheet, and budgets into one single platform. Instead of custom-building your actuals or jumping between disconnected systems, you get a reliable, 360-degree view of your current performance.

When a system only offers a handful of native connections, your finance team is forced to manually export CSVs or rely on IT to build and maintain complex, custom API scripts. BrightAnalytics eliminates this operational burden. We provide deep, automated synchronization with over 400+ native ERP, accounting, and CRM packages. Your financial data updates automatically straight from the general ledger level, giving you a fast, secure, and completely maintenance-free data pipeline.

Many custom forecasting tools operate as a blank canvas, meaning they do not inherently understand a chart of accounts, accounting cycles or standard P&L structures. As a result, configuring basic financial logic and reporting hierarchies requires heavy lifting from specialized internal teams or external consultants, turning setup into a months-long project.BrightAnalytics is built with native financial logic from day one. Because the accounting intelligence is already embedded, you bypass expensive custom configuration and go from setup to pristine visual reporting in weeks, not months.

Managing a structured corporate group requires robust consolidation capabilities. Because pure forecasting tools lack a native consolidation engine, processing intercompany (IC) eliminations and managing multi-currency conversions must be custom-programmed and constantly maintained. BrightAnalytics automates group consolidation entirely. Our built-in financial logic automatically filters out internal invoicing noise and processes complex eliminations at the click of a button, removing any reliance on specialized internal or external tech resources.

To truly understand a budget variance or an unexpected operational shift on a chart, you need to verify the source instantly. In custom-modeled applications, visibility stops at a high summary level, leaving you guessing about the underlying transactions. BrightAnalytics ensures your visual data is fully interactive. You can simply click on any variance in your financial overview to drill straight down through the management layers to the specific ledger entry, right down to the original scanned PDF invoice originating from your ERP.

BrightAnalytics connects with more than 400 integrations, both accounting, ERP, and CRM systems. The source can be online, on-premise or even a spreadsheet. An unlimited number of integrations can also be combined within the platform!
