What Compas is
Compas is web-based enterprise performance management software for planning, monitoring, and evaluating business activity without relying on spreadsheets. It brings budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, variance analysis, workforce planning, and financial consolidation into one service. Compas can create sales and financial forecasts from marketing or other activity plans and update them when plans change. Campaign monitoring combines actual sales with marketing plans and supports reforecasting as new data arrives. Marketing tools cover campaign and longer-term analytics, visualisations, and forecasts for campaigns, subscription revenues, and customer lifetime value. Financial planning includes budgets, scenario and sensitivity analysis, and full-year profit and loss forecasts combining actuals to date with the remaining plan. Reports export as formatted Excel spreadsheets, and uploaded Excel templates can be populated with Compas data. The system can integrate internal, external, and manually supplied data sources. Pricing is on request, negotiated by business size and required features.
