I: Typical problems of classic planning processes

The hidden cost of Excel-based planning

Many companies still manage revenue, sales and financial planning through Excel files circulating between departments. Values get collected, updated and merged by hand. The more teams are involved — or the more often forecasts change — the faster things fall apart: no clear version history, no single source of truth, and consolidation eating up time that should go elsewhere.

Scattered planning data

Plan values are stored in various Excel files, emails or folders. There is no central overview of current plan statuses.

High maintenance overhead

New key figures, additional dimensions or changes in planning require extensive adjustments to existing files.

Version chaos

Several versions of the same plan circulate in parallel. It is often unclear which figures are current and which have already been adjusted.

Manual consolidation

Plan values from different areas have to be merged manually. This takes time and increases the susceptibility to errors.

no direct reporting integration

Plan values often have to be transferred manually to BI or reporting tools. There is no direct further processing of the data.

Rigid scenario management

New forecasts or planning scenarios can only be created with additional effort. Adjustments often lead to new tables or additional files.

Typical problems

High development costs for each adaptation
Ongoing costs for maintenance, operation and further development
Changes take a long time and block other projects
Dependence on individual developers or external service providers
Individually built interfaces must be permanently maintained
The solution does not automatically grow with new requirements

How do companies solve these problems?

When planning gets more complex, many companies turn to specialized tools like Jedox or Anaplan. On paper, they look promising — but they're expensive to roll out, complex to configure, and they force your process to fit the tool. With low-code, you build exactly what your process needs. No consultants, no multi-month implementation. Days, not quarters.

Specialized planning tool

Low code

Structured recording of plan values

For operational use in just a few days

Customization without programming knowledge

Flexibly expand planning structure

Data sovereignty within your own company

Easily scalable

Low-code puts your planning back in your hands. The biggest advantage: it removes development work from the equation — especially for IT teams that are already stretched thin.

You design the application around your actual requirements — without writing code. Input forms, planning dimensions and scenarios are configured directly in the interface and can be adjusted whenever your needs change.

Business units enter planning data directly into one structured, central application. Revenue, sales or financial plans are easy to update and compare — and any adjustments to figures, structures or scenarios are made by your team, not an external developer.

All planning data is consistently available in one place. Every process is visible, every change traceable — making GAPTEQ the ideal data foundation for analyses, forecast comparisons and dashboards in tools like Power BI.

Quick start

With Low-Code, you can implement an application for planning and forecasting in a short space of time. With the ready-made components, the structured creation of forecasts and plans is precise and comprehensible: Configure input forms, planning dimensions and scenarios directly via the interface and adapt them yourself at any time.

Flexible planning structures

Planning dimensions such as regions, products, sales areas or cost centers can be defined flexibly. You can add new key figures or additional planning scenarios at any time.

Central recording of plan values

In GAPTEQ's low-code solution, specialist departments enter their plan values directly in a central application. This eliminates the need to collect and merge Excel files from different areas.

Ideal basis for BI analyses

Planning data is available in a structured form and can be used directly for analyses or dashboards. Especially in combination with BI tools such as Power BI, meaningful forecast and planning analyses are created.

Easy integration

Connect your low-code application with existing systems and access existing data. Integrated into your system landscape, data flows on automatically - without duplicate data storage or media disruptions.

"With GAPTEQ, we have reduced manual planning work, achieved a higher level of detail and always have an up-to-date overview."

"GAPTEQ is a tool for the specialist area. It's really fun to work with."

Albert Kremer, Planning & Reporting Systems Austrian Airlines AG

Define planning structure

To begin with, you determine which plan values are to be recorded - turnover, sales, costs and/or investments - and how your planning is structured - regions, products, cost centers. Both form the basis for implementation. If there are already existing data sources, they are connected directly.

Build input forms and scenarios

Use drag & drop to design your individual planning application, including input fields, planning scenarios and user roles. Without coding, without external service providers. You build exactly what your planning process needs.

Deploy and start planning

The specialist department records the plan values directly in the browser. All planning data is available centrally and consistently - as a direct basis for analyses, forecast comparisons or dashboards in BI tools such as Microsoft Power BI.

"I've never used software where support and further development are really so great!"

Oliver Mayrer, Managing Director MAYRER GmbH

"The development with GAPTEQ inspired us. We were surprised at how quickly and easily our requirements could be solved with it."

Bernd Lauer, Managing Partner HOLZMANUFAKTUR GmbH

Structured recording of planning data

Record planned values for turnover, sales or costs centrally and in a structured manner - direct data entry via input forms simplifies the process and saves valuable time.

Flexible planning dimensions

Planning dimensions such as regions, products, business areas or cost centers can be defined flexibly and can be expanded at any time in the event of changes.

Side-by-side scenario comparison

Simply create different planning scenarios in parallel and compare them with each other. Adjustments to forecasts can be tracked at any time in the web application.

Oe view of all plan statuses

All planned values are available centrally. You can track changes at any time and have a quick overview of current plan statuses.

Collaboration without version conflicts

Version chaos due to Excel files? Not with low-code! Let different departments work on plans at the same time. Input is structured and comprehensible without getting in each other's way.

Direct integration with BI tools

You can use planning data directly for analyses and dashboards. Especially in combination with tools such as Power BI, meaningful forecast analyses are created in conjunction with your low-code application.

With low-code from GAPTEQ, you can implement an initial application for recording plan values in a very short time: Initial prototypes are created within a few hours, productive applications in a few days. Planning dimensions, input masks and key figures can be configured directly and adapted to your requirements. In this way, a solution is created step by step that fits your planning processes exactly.

No. Low-Code from GAPTEQ is designed so that both business departments and IT can work with it. Adjustments to planning structures, key figures or input masks are made via the drag & drop interface using existing components.

Yes, new key figures, additional planning dimensions or further scenarios can be added at any time. This means that the application grows with your requirements and can be flexibly expanded.

The recorded plan values are available in a structured form and can be used directly for evaluations. Especially in combination with BI tools, dashboards, forecast comparisons and detailed analyses can be created.

As all planning data is stored in a structured manner in a central database, BI tools such as Microsoft Power BI can be connected directly. Thanks to the central database, no manual data transfer or additional export is necessary: the data is immediately available in the latest version for dashboards, forecast comparisons and analyses.

Your planning data is stored either directly in your own database or in a database hosted by us. If required, GAPTEQ can be operated completely on-premise - even in security-critical or isolated networks. You retain full control over your data at all times.
