Frequently asked questions about Exopen

Overview

Exopen is an AI-driven FP&A platform that helps finance departments plan, analyse and manage their operations using data they can trust. By combining a modern Finance Data Platform with pre-built integrations, a shared financial model and a powerful Excel add-in, companies get everything they need for reporting, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and KPI tracking in a single solution. Unlike traditional BI tools or data warehouses, Exopen is built specifically for finance departments.

Exopen collects data from ERP, CRM and other data sources and makes it immediately usable for FP&A. Companies use Exopen to automate reporting, create budgets and forecasts in Excel, build KPIs, analyse profitability, monitor cash flow, consolidate group accounts and gain AI-driven insights in real time. The result is faster reporting, better decisions and significantly less manual work.

Function & Usage

Exopen connects the company’s business systems using ready-made, managed integrations and automatically builds a quality-assured financial model. The finance department can then continue working in Excel as usual, but with live data from across the entire organisation. Reports, budgets, forecasts and analyses are updated automatically, without the need for exports, manual Excel files or reliance on IT.

With Exopen, you can: ✅ automate financial reporting ✅ build budgets and forecasts directly in Excel ✅ create your own KPIs without needing a developer ✅ consolidate multiple companies and ERP systems ✅ analyse profitability and cash flow ✅ create Power BI reports in minutes ✅ ask questions of your financial data using AI ✅ drill down all the way to transactions and invoices Everything is based on the same quality-assured financial model, ensuring that all components work with the same figures.

Exopen is designed for modern finance departments. CFOs, finance managers and controllers use the platform to create a single source of truth and work on reporting, budgeting, forecasting, KPIs and analysis in Excel, without manual processes or reliance on IT. The platform is particularly valued by group companies, acquisition-intensive firms and organisations with multiple ERP systems, where data quality, flexibility and rapid decision-making are crucial to driving the business forward. Some of Exopen’s clients include Skanska, Enerco, XPartners and others.

Pricing

The price of Exopen varies depending on the size of the company, the number of data sources and which modules are included. Many customers start with reporting and FP&A and then expand the solution to include budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, AI and Power BI as their needs grow. Unlike many traditional BI and data platform projects, Exopen comes with a ready-to-use Finance Data Platform, managed integrations and a proven financial model, resulting in faster implementation and a lower total cost of ownership. Exopen provides a quotation based on each client’s business and existing systems.

Exopen does not offer a free version, as each implementation is tailored to the company’s system environment, data sources and business processes. Instead, you can book a free demonstration where our experts will show you how Exopen automates reporting, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation and analysis based on your specific requirements. This provides a far more relevant assessment than a generic trial version and demonstrates how quickly you can generate business value with the platform.

Evaluation

Exopen is ideal for companies that have outgrown manual Excel processes and need a modern platform for FP&A, reporting and financial management. The solution is particularly valued by medium-sized and large companies with multiple business systems, multiple subsidiaries or growing operations. If you work with budgets, forecasts, KPIs, group reporting or analyses in Excel and want to automate data collection at the same time, Exopen is the right choice. The platform gives the finance department full control over the data and enables them to develop reports and analyses without having to rely on IT.

Yes. Exopen has been developed for the finance department, not for IT. Users continue to work in Microsoft Excel, a tool they are already familiar with, whilst all data is automatically retrieved from the company’s business system. Budgets, forecasts, reports, KPIs and analyses are updated at the touch of a button, without the need for manual exports or copying between systems. This means a shorter ramp-up period, high user acceptance and a significantly lower need for technical expertise compared with many traditional BI and data platforms.

Security is a core part of Exopen. As a Microsoft Partner, Exopen builds its platform on Microsoft Azure and adheres to modern principles of security, performance and data integrity. All communication is encrypted and access is controlled via role-based permissions, ensuring that users only have access to the information they need. Exopen also continuously monitors integrations and data flows to ensure high availability, data quality and a stable foundation for reporting, FP&A, budgeting, forecasting and AI.
