Blueprint and governance
The dimension list, metric definitions, scenario rules and access rights are agreed with the head of FP&A and the operational plan owners before building begins.
Platform implementation
Pigment
We set up Pigment for finance and operations teams that need to build and change plans quickly, with scenarios they can compare live in leadership meetings.
Pigment is a newer, cloud-only planning platform, and the work centres on a sound data model and on training business users to build in it themselves. Typical Gulf buyers are fast-growing companies in technology, retail and services whose hiring and revenue plans change every quarter. Before any personal or payroll data is loaded, data residency obligations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia should be checked against where Pigment hosts your workspace.
A Pigment model is made of dimensions, metrics, lists and tables, with formulas in Pigment's own formula language. We connect the data warehouse, ERP, CRM and HR system through its native connectors or the API, and use scenarios and access rights so each team edits only its own part of the plan.
Pigment and related product names may be trademarks of their respective owners.
How we implement Pigment
Design, build, integration and run-state support, with each decision recorded for your steering committee.
Headcount and hiring plans
Position-level hiring plans with salary, allowance and benefit assumptions, rolled into the operating expense plan.
Live scenario comparison
Growth, pricing and cost scenarios that leadership can switch between and compare on the same board.
Model hand-over
Training and documentation so your analysts can add metrics, change formulas and maintain the model after we leave.
Hypercare and managed support
Pigment releases product updates regularly as a SaaS platform, so we review the release notes for changes to formulas, connectors and permissions. After go-live we support the first planning cycle and help your analysts grow the model without losing performance.
When Pigment suits a fast-moving team
Pigment fits growth-stage and mid-sized companies that want business users to build plans themselves, and that value speed and flexibility over the deep statutory consolidation of the larger suites.
- Plans that change every month or quarter
- Analysts in finance and operations willing to model
- Data already gathered in a warehouse or a few core systems
- A confirmed hosting location that meets your residency rules
