BrightAnalytics: a VIS Performance alternative for consolidated management reporting

Why companies choose BrightAnalytics

1. Self-service, without a specialist on standby

Traditional CPM software options often rely on an old-school, consultant-led model. Getting reports configured or modifying data usually requires paid intervention from external consultants. BrightAnalytics works differently:

• Built for finance teams: You don’t need an internal or external IT specialist to manage the system. Finance and non-finance teams can use it directly.
• Full control in your hands: Reporting structures, mappings, dashboards, and user access can all be adjusted in the admin panel by you.
• Automated chart of accounts mapping: When onboarding new entities, built-in AI suggests general ledger account mappings automatically and learns from your past choices over time.
• Deep data access: Slice and dice your data across different analytical dimensions, and drill down to transaction-level postings and scanned invoices without submitting a change request.

2. Consolidation built for complex group structures

Whether you’re managing a handful of entities or a group with layered, shifting ownership, BrightAnalytics handles the mechanics for you:

• Advanced legal methods: Full, proportional, or equity consolidation methods, with non-controlling interests and deferred taxes processed automatically.

• Dynamic shareholder register: Logs acquisitions, share issuances, and disposals, capturing voting and financial rights as they change.

• Automated ownership updates: Consolidated reports build directly from your ownership structure, so a change in a subsidiary’s stake doesn’t mean rebuilding the report by hand.

• Transaction-level IC eliminations: Intercompany transactions are identified directly through direct integrations. Integrated AI matching analyzes invoice descriptions and currencies across entities to pair sales and purchase records, resolving balance discrepancies automatically.

3. One native platform, not built on top of third-party BI

BrightAnalytics is a standalone, natively built platform, not a layer of logic built on top of a separate BI vendor’s architecture or an external data warehouse. Financial reporting, budgeting, operational KPIs, Cash Forecasting, and other metric metrics all run on the same data model. Your reporting stays unified and isn’t tied to the licensing, roadmap, or limitations of a third-party BI platform.

4. Fast, direct integrations

We connect to your cloud or on-premise accounting, ERP, and CRM systems through over 450+ pre-built integrations. That includes popular Nordic systems like Fortnox, Visma, 24SevenOffice, and PowerOffice alongside global platforms like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Exact, NetSuite, and Odoo.

If your system isn’t on the list, we typically build the connector in a matter of days. BrightAnalytics sits as a direct layer on top of your data sources through direct API connections rather than file imports or manual spreadsheet uploads, so you spend your time analyzing data instead of gathering it.

5. AI built into the platform

Artificial intelligence is embedded throughout BrightAnalytics, not bolted on as a separate feature:

• Instant anomaly detection: The AI controller scans your figures to flag unusual patterns or cost spikes before you close the books.

• Smart IC matching: Intercompany reconciliation uses AI-driven matching, intelligent exceptions, and automatic adjustments, cutting down the manual work of tracking mismatches.

• Plain-language analysis: Ask questions directly on active views to monitor budget variances and analyze cost drivers.

6. One reliable source of truth

BrightAnalytics data stays 100% aligned with your source systems. The built-in health check catches discrepancies between what’s reported and what’s booked before they reach your reports. With everything captured in one platform, you always have a single, clear version of your financial and operational performance to work from.
