Unlock the “Why” behind the “What”

Datarails gives you the tools to uncover the “why” behind results and model “what if” scenarios, so finance leads the conversation.

  • Identify key drivers and variances that impact growth. How big is the variance? What are the drivers? What should the company do in response?
  • Leverage analysis tools to increase revenues and decrease costs.
  • Optimize scenario analysis: adjust assumptions, model best- and worst-case outcomes, and stress test your plans.

“It has saved me so much time. The drill downs have facilitated a lot of analysis that we previously could not do or could only do in slow poke mode.”
