The one-click planning app

As we all know, QR codes, left/right swipes (we know you know), or link-clicking have become the standard ways of retrieving information. Long gone are the days of licking fingers before turning a page, running fingers over files in a filing cabinet, or scrutinizing the bookshelf in a desperate attempt to remember the book where you read that important piece of information.

However, we still waste some important time looking for the right version of the right files in the wrong places.

One of the major objectives of the Mattsskk solution is to implement the famous fully automated “button” – the button which you press, and a complete and fully detailed budget rolls out. But as a sign of the times, the button has become ‘click-the-link’.

How many times have FP&A people worked for months on a bottom-up budget, only to receive the final top-down adjustments from the management team 2 days before the submission deadline? The usual defense: don’t you just have to press the button and the budget is done?

So, Mattsskk was conceived with the idea to have all inputs for the simulations one click away. And that, once the input was updated, literally one click launches all calculations and all reports at once (but sequentially), with the next click used to open the fully updated reports.

Mattsskk even foresees the possibility to automatically copy one scenario to various new ones, and automatically change certain parameters for each scenario from a pre-defined script, avoiding all the hassle of individually inputting the different values for the parameters.

So Mattsskk is fully focused on delivering a fully automated tool which calculates simulations and reports as fast as possible without compromising on detail or volume of data. For instance, Mattsskk has fields for Companies, Currencies, Business Units, Cost centers, Products, Projects, Processes, Geographies, Segments, Channels, Intercompany codes, etc. But everything is maintained and run by a click on a link.

The whole process starts with an initial clean sheet with little more than links. From there on, things get real one link at a time.

What do you think? Do you prefer right/left swipes over links? Do you like the idea of clicking a link and having all the complicated work done automatically, while you can focus on other tasks, like swiping? Would you like to give it a try?
