What do you like best about Martus?
Thank you, Martus! We had previously used Google Sheets for budget entry by all 7 campuses and their departments. While this worked fine in years past, the workload on my end was very time consuming to update each campus's department sheets every year for managers/supervisors. This would include manually adding new and updated sheets, adding annualized actuals for each account in each campus department, double checking, adding into my preliminary budget Excel file and then after any revisions, I would finally add each campus department account into the final budget template for upload into Sage Intacct, our accounting system.
With the implementation of Martus in Fall 2023, I was given a roadmap of information and support articles on what to expect for each training. The training was very thorough, easy and helpful. For the beginning of Martus budgeting, I added all of the information myself into the Budget Planner for my final budget task. Once I was done entering and double checking everything, with the click of a button, I directly exported my final budget into Sage Intacct. With just this specific final budget export task, I saved over 57% of my time by using Martus (22 hours instead of 52 hours from year before, from start to finish). This cost effective tool will roll out to our respective managers and supervisors this spring. As an admin, you can add user permissions to each manager and supervisor so they can only see a particular campus or department that they oversee.
Martus will not only allow managers to monitor and dive deeper with their monthly reporting but also plan their budgets, that are approved by supervisors. This will allow for a smoother, more efficient and reliable budget process that also enhances internal controls as our organization scales and grows. The system is very user-friendly and has easy to understand Help articles and videos in the Help center. Customer support has been helpful. With any new system comes a certain amount of learning, but with Martus, the ease of integration overall has been quite simple. I use Martus every day and once the final rollout to managers and supervisors has been executed, I am confident that they will find it easy to use, as well. I have been very pleased with Martus!
