Town of Guadalupe

Until the Town of Guadalupe brought on 5Cast Plus from Forecast5 Analytics, all of their budget forecasting work was done in spreadsheets. This was cumbersome, time consuming to manage, and prone to error. With 5Cast Plus, the Town of Guadalupe could seamlessly upload their financial data, and what would have taken days to accomplish—creating what-if scenarios, developing comprehensive, clear charts and reports, etc.—was now completed in seconds. In addition to using 5Cast Plus for budget forecasting, they're now able to easily create monthly and year-to-date comparisons to YTD budget reports for management review. 

Prior to 5Cast Plus, the onerous work of reviewing linked financial spreadsheets for errors and omissions and developing financial reports fell to Robert Thaxton. Linked spreadsheets were a nightmare—and are a thing of the past for Robert—who is now considered a "rock star" in the eyes of management and council.
