FAQs
What Controlling and FP&A
really want to know.
How do we move away from Excel without a project that takes months?
bdg ONE | Finance is preconfigured, which means no blank sheet project and no endless concept phases. The data model for profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow is available from day one. Implementation takes around 20 person days. Existing ERP data from SAP, Dynamics or other systems is integrated via standard connectors.
What does integrated financial planning cost and when does it pay off?
The implementation of bdg ONE | Finance follows the solution fix model with a fixed price, a clearly defined scope and no risk of unexpected costs. Add-ons such as customised reports or additional integrations are calculated on a time and materials basis. Operations are supported through optional retainer packages starting from approximately £3,000 per year. Specific pricing depends on the scope, and we prepare a proposal based on your requirements.
Can we truly plan profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow in an integrated way without manual reconciliation?
Yes, this is the core of bdg ONE | Finance. Profit and loss items automatically drive the balance sheet and cash flow. Payment term parameters such as DSO and DPO control liquidity simulation. Every plan within the system, including cost centres, capital expenditure and loans, is immediately reflected across all three financial statements. There is no export, no reconciling and no spreadsheet maintenance.
Does this also work without SAP, as we use Dynamics, ABAS or DATEV?
Yes. bdg ONE | Finance supports all common ERP systems, including SAP ERP, S/4HANA, BW and BPC, as well as Oracle Financials, Microsoft Dynamics, ABAS, DATEV and LODAS. In addition, SQL databases, Google BigQuery, Salesforce and CSV or Excel exports can be integrated. Integration is carried out via standard connectors without custom development within the standard scope.
How do I bring personnel costs into financial planning without maintaining duplicate data?
Through bdg ONE | People. Headcount, FTEs and salary costs are planned there at individual employee level and transferred directly into the Finance suite via commit, fully allocated by cost centres and profit and loss accounts. HR plans in its own interface, and Finance sees the result immediately in the profit and loss statement. There is no manual reconciliation and no parallel files.
