Pulse Budgeting

A powerful toolset available to users of Financials to enable budgeting and forecasting that’s fully integrated within Pulse Mining ERP for instant access to actuals

POWERFUL | ACCURATE | FULLY INTEGRATED

Pulse Budgeting is available as a fully-integrated system enhancement for users of the Financials module so there’s no need to juggle separate budgeting software with Pulse Mining ERP.

For finance teams using Financials, Pulse Budgeting resides wholly within the Pulse Mining ERP environment so there’s no time-wasting export/import of data between separate applications.

Full integration allows Pulse Budgeting to perform true bottom-up budgeting and re-forecasting, making it the most compelling choice for finance teams above any separate, non-integrated application.

The immediate availability of system-wide data within Pulse Budgeting ensures greater accuracy and control. By maintaining one version of the truth, common opportunities for error and omission in budgeting and forecasting are eliminated. Finance teams can forecast more reliably and more often – adding more value to the role of finance within the mining organization.
