## Reviews

### "Catalyst is a Powerful Analytical and Mgmt Reporting Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Steve** | *21 July 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Catalyst allows me to consolidate data from multiple ERPs in a consistent account, item, and customer hierarchy. The tool works great with not only our internal data but also acquisition target data where I can view another business in the same structure along with our existing.  Monthly reporting requires just a simple refresh, and PowerBI integration provides real-time dashboards for key stakeholders. If you're looking to improve your understanding of results, communicate influentially, and get better at predicting the future, Catalyst is a fantastic tool.
> 
> **Cons**: When significant changes are made to the hierarchies, the next system refresh can take longer than usual. This wait time has come way down over the four years I've used Catalyst as EBM has made several enhancements and we've learned to be more efficient in how we use the tool.
> 
> I've been using this tool for more than four years and it's an absolutely indispensable part of how I run FP\&A, and how we run our company. Here are a few quick bullets on results that I've been able to realize by using this tool.

Profitability Cube:
The biggest initial win was getting our profitability cube set up to provide accurate customer/item margins. The cube allowed us to embark on a large-scale SKU rationalization project that decreased our SKU count by 1/3, while increasing our margins by nearly 5% along with some other simplification initiatives. We used the same profitability cube to create EBITDA bridges down to the customer/item level, desegregating volume, mix, rate, and FX across all of our key customer and item-driven costs: sales, sales allowances, COGS, broker, and royalties. We've driven several points of mix favorability over the past three years by using this tool to understand the drivers of our profitability at a low level.

Volume:
To build out an S\&OP process, we needed to start by getting our demand estimates out of Excel and into one consolidated tool. As Catalyst aligned our item and customer hierarchies across three ERPs, our sales organization could then plan case volume for the entire company in one location. This forecast practice not only helped us improve our accuracy but laid the groundwork for understanding our mid-to-long range capital/capacity needs.

### "Finally a Finance Platform that is Robust and Easy to Use...and made by Finance People\!" — 5.0/5

> **Eric** | *11 November 2021* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use, robust, integrated w/ excel
> 
> **Cons**: Entirely pivot table driven (good \& bad)
> 
> Our entire financial reporting can be done with the use of Catalyst and has significantly cut down the time to generate reports and develop analysis. The support team is amazing and the time to on-board and build out the platform plus the learning curve is easily the fastest of any systems transition I've worked on (which includes SAP, Oracle/Hyperion).

### "Great Management Reporting Tool" — 5.0/5

> **Marla** | *28 October 2021* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Catalyst easily consolidates data from multiple ERPs in a consistent account, item, and customer hierarchy. Monthly reporting just requires a refresh, and PowerBI integration provides real-time dashboards.  Catalyst requires minimal maintenance and the outputs are very reliable.
> 
> **Cons**: There is nothing at this time that I do not like about this software.
> 
> Catalyst is a terrific reporting tool that took hours out of the monthly close allowing more time for data analysis.
