Budgeting & Forecasting
Get the visibility and clarity you need — from an individual invoice to your entire global capital investment program.
Budgeting
The strategic allocation of capital is the foundation of improved performance. Smart selection tools lead to wise choices while electronic budget request submission and fiscal intelligence ensure a smooth process and reporting integrity.
Forecasting
Capture up-to-date, fiscally accurate forecasts from project managers in a single system of record. No more guesswork or calls asking “how’s it looking?” Finario provides one seamless process for everyone.
Actuals
It’s impossible to forecast where you are headed without a clear grasp of where you have been. Feed actual payment information electronically from your ERP into Finario and automate actuals reporting once and for all.
Reporting
Timely, accurate reporting on the capital plan – in all of its varied dimensions from entity to category, currency and more – is a critical responsibility. Automate it, and arm yourself with purpose-built analytical tools to provide valuable insight.
ROI Modeling
Simplify and standardize the modeling of financial benefits and ROI across business units and project types to ensure apples-to-apples comparisons and evaluation. Leverage projection drivers to scale ROI analysis for material projects across your enterprise.

Investments
Your largest capital project and your smallest Capex request have something fundamental in common, they are both investments. Finario provides a "single pane of glass" for all activity on every project opportunity from ideation, to approval, execution and post-completion review.
Project Financials

Your capital project cost detail provides a treasure trove of data. Finario brings this data to life with a powerful ad-hoc query builder that gives your project and procurement teams the tools they need to identify savings opportunities.
Process Reporting
You can’t improve what you can’t measure. Finario's reporting on the Capex process itself provides a framework for continuous improvement and demonstrating value from your performance initiatives.

“The ability to track actual costs against what’s been approved in Finario has been great. Previously, it was difficult to understand which projects were responsible for any unwanted or unplanned deviation in our capital budget. It could be done, but required a lot of manual effort.”
