Linked Planning Tool Hits NZ Market

Vena buys Acterys, bringing new plan tool to NZ. This change could help Kiwi firms track cash better.

The Problem for NZ Firms

Many firms still use spreadsheets for forecasts their daily. Spreadsheets often cause errors and slow decisions for teams.

Teams lack a single view of data across all. Without clear view, plans often miss key risks later.

Cash flow gaps can hit profit fast for small. Small firms feel strain when cash dries too quickly.

Current tools lack real‑time updates for budgets across teams. Team members end up working with stale numbers daily.

Many CEOs cannot see true cost trends in real. Lack of insight leads to missed growth chances later.

Some firms still rely on paper reports for budget. Paper adds cost and slows plan updates for all.

Teams waste time copying data between apps each day. Manual steps raise risk of wrong numbers in reports.

Growth plans stall when data cannot keep pace fast. Leaders lose confidence if numbers feel shaky over time.

Many firms lack a clear plan road map today. Road map helps teams align work and spend smart.

Without road map, teams drift and waste time money. Waste hurts profit and limits future hiring for growth.
