What Compas is
Compas is cloud-based enterprise performance management software for organisations planning, monitoring, and evaluating business activity without relying on spreadsheets. Its web-based tools include budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, variance analysis, workforce planning, and financial consolidation. Compas can produce sales and financial forecasts from marketing or other activity plans, then refresh those forecasts when plans change. It can also combine actual sales data with marketing plans and reforecast campaigns as new results arrive. Marketing analytics include campaign and longer-term analysis, visualisations, and forecasts for campaigns, subscription revenues, and customer lifetime value. For financial planning, Compas supports scenario and sensitivity analysis and full-year profit and loss forecasts that bring actual results to date together with the remaining plan. Reports can be exported as formatted Excel spreadsheets, and uploaded Excel templates can be populated with Compas data. The product can integrate internal, external, and manually supplied data sources. Implementation is tailored to customer requirements: the maker describes scoping as about one week and configuration as two to eight weeks, with interfaces, business logic, and reporting configured accordingly. Training and support are provided as needed during rollout. Pricing is negotiated individually based on business size and required features. The maker positions Compas for organisations that have outgrown Excel, particularly direct marketing and subscription-based businesses.
