It is a robust system and a good economic value.

**What problems is Budgyt solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were using excel spreadsheets so Budgyt eliminates the risk of error inherent in spreadsheets.  Our managers can input their own forecast updates instead of everything going through the Accounting department.  We can do detailed comparisons of budget, actuals, ty, ly, forecast.  It has saved us a lot of time and the information we are able to report is much more robust.
