The platform has completely transformed how we run FP&A at our company. The biggest thing for me is how much faster I can build scenarios and update our forecasts. What used to take hours in Excel now happens in minutes. The interface is actually intuitive, which is rare for finance software. I also love that I can connect directly to our data sources instead of constantly exporting and importing CSV files. The collaboration features make it way easier to work with our sales and ops teams on planning. Everyone can see the same numbers in real time, which has eliminated so many version control headaches.
The customer service levels are fantastic; these guys are serious about ensuring that their product meets the needs of their customers.
I have multiple instances of quickbooks online that I have to consolidate to get an accurate picture; before, every time there is a request internally or from investors or potential investors, i would have to download multiple csvs, consolidate, and slice and dice data manually which would take hours for every request that would come in. Drivetrain basically gives me all of my KPIs, dashboards, customer information, vendor information, etc across all instances of quickbooks in one database, and I can get insights in seconds (vs. hours). We were at the stage of considering a brand new expensive ERP, but Drivetrain has given me the insights I needed and has extended the useful life of quickbooks by years and avoids a very expensive and time consuming ERP implementation. The implementation was 95% done by Drivetrain themselves (vs. an ERP implementation which requires a huge effort from the end users), and the integration with other apps is very good.
I cannot understate how much Drivetrain has made my life easier, and how core it is to my workflow, particularly during high pressure times such as generating reports for potential investors. If there were issues in the data, the team jumped on the issues right away and were solved overnight.
