Workday Adaptive Planning

Shorten Cycle Times and Engage Business Users With Intuitive Budgeting, Forecasting, and Planning Software

Rescue your budgeting, planning, and forecasting from slow and painful manual processes with planning software for finance teams proven to improve productivity by more than 70%. Integrate revenue and expense planning, use rolling forecasts, and analyze performance. Enjoy the benefits of using a cloud-based planning system and work the way you want to work – on the web, in Excel, or mobile.

Finally, a Consolidated Source of Truth

Stop wrestling with static spreadsheets and fixing broken calculations and formulas. Our flexible planning software centralizes budgets, actuals, plans, forecasts, calculations, and cell notes to ensure integrity—from summary to detail. Work from a common data foundation that builds trust and accountability, and ensures that your planning processes scale with your business. That means your team will spend more time analyzing the business and working with stakeholders instead of wasting time uncovering the cause of a dreaded #N/A, #NAME?, or #REF! in their models and reports. Our built-in cell explorer provides a complete audit trail, so you can see the source behind any value, formula or assumption.

The Power to Plan Anything: Integrated Business Planning

From budgeting expenses to creating financial statements and forecasting revenue, Workday Adaptive Planning accommodates all types of modeling—workforce, capital, and revenue—following any type of calendar structure across all industries and sizes. Financial and currency logic eliminates the complexities of departmental and global planning. It’s integrated planning that drives transparency throughout the organization.

Continuous Planning and Rolling Forecasts, Top-Down or Bottom-Up

Our planning and forecasting software enables rolling forecasts with integrated driver-based scenarios that you can tune in real time. With the latest actuals, assumptions, and modules always at hand—and truly responsive calculations and reports—Workday Adaptive Planning lets you proactively manage change, model outcomes, and course-correct at the pace your business demands. The intuitive experience will let you scale your planning processes across your entire organization.

Visualize Your Model and How It’s All Connected

Visual Model Overview allows you to quickly grasp your business model and data flows in a single view. See a graphical representation of your model that dynamically updates with the version and level you select. Understand your model and data flows without clicking through multiple pages. Grasp your overall planning process quickly. Enable new administrators to come up to speed with ease and understand your model in little time.

Quickly Navigate the Planning Process One Step at a Time

Easily create step-by-step guides for your users, tailored to their specific roles, with links directly to the location in the financial model where their input is required. Simplify the process and help occasional or new users collaborate in each budget and planning cycle. Ensure that business users complete all the necessary planning steps on a timely basis while giving them an experience that is easy and fast.

Easy, Powerful, and Fast Formulas

Create formulas that represent the true realities of your business in all its complexity with ease. With extensive business logic and calculations at your fingertips, it’s easy to write, explain, and maintain complex formulas. Write them once and apply them anywhere in your model, wherever it makes sense, whether that’s in the planning stages, analysis, or in both.

Flexibly Model with any Calendar

With flexible time modeling, your fiscal calendar can match your exact business needs, so you can plan and adapt without compromise. Alternative vendors might offer time granularity, but their static calendars are inflexible and hard-coded into their systems. Model using conventional calendars with days, weeks, months, and quarters, etc. or setup your own calendar to follow break periods and roll-ups that better match your business. For example, higher education plans might use semesters or trimesters while retailers might have a 13-period calendar or roll-up from weeks to periods to seasons. It’s up to you.

A Seamless Experience—On the Web and in Excel
