The product direction

A budget is more
than a spreadsheet.

It is a set of choices, conversations, and commitments. CapZero Budget is being shaped around that entire process—from a department’s first request to the public’s view of the approved plan.

01

Plan

Bring operating budgets, position assumptions, and multi-year capital programs into a connected planning model. Make the assumptions behind a number visible.

02

Collaborate

Give departments a consistent path for submissions, narratives, revisions, and review. Define who prepares, who recommends, and who approves.

03

Analyze

Compare scenarios, connect changes to their drivers, and examine the longer-term effect of a decision. Keep the plan connected to reconciled actuals.

04

Publish

Turn an approved plan into understandable reporting, budget narratives, and accessible public information, with review before publication.

05

Integrate

Map accounts and organizational structures to the existing ERP. Specify validated imports, reconciliation, and supported export formats.

06

Audit

Retain versions, assumptions, and approval history so people can reconstruct how a plan changed and why a decision was made.

A connected planning architecture

Your ERP remains
part of the picture.

Planning software should connect to the financial system of record. The integration approach depends on supported interfaces, data definitions, and reconciliation requirements.

Proposed architecture. Specific connectors, update schedules, and controls require implementation scoping.

Start with your process

What would a better budget cycle look like?

  1. Understand the current cycle

    Map departmental submissions, account structures, position assumptions, review stages, and the way capital priorities become a funded plan.

  2. Define the first useful scope

    Agree on the planning horizon, source data, required reports, and a bounded workflow to validate with budget and department staff.

  3. Establish the operating requirements

    Specify identity, permissions, retention, accessibility, migration, training, and maintenance before committing to deployment.
