Why finance teams stop looking at Excel and stop short of Anaplan.
Sprawl
One Governed Model
Your finance team works across 14 systems, 600 spreadsheets, and 4 reporting tools.
Your ERP, CRM, and warehouse feed one Farseer model. Closing cycles run in minutes.
Every closing cycle is a manual reconciliation across versions, inboxes, and people.
The Rama engine consolidates millions of rows in seconds. Every version, every entity, every driver lives in one governed source. Your team stops reconciling and starts planning.
Risk
Numbers You Sign
A typo breaks the cascade. A version mismatch breaks the audit. A leaver breaks the institutional knowledge.
Every formula validated, every change logged, every number traces back to source.
Excel and bolted on US enterprise tools weren’t built for the way finance teams actually have to defend their numbers.
Farseer’s audit trail captures who changed what, when, and why. The Rama engine validates every formula, no silent breakage from one bad typo. The line item you’d defend under oath.
Lock-in
Live in Weeks
The "easy" path is a 12-month implementation, a Big 4 partner contract, and a 5-year per-user agreement.
No Big 4 contract, no 12-month rollout, no 5-year per-user lock-in.
The hard path is admitting the platform you bought wasn’t built for your industry, your data residency, or your audit posture.
Farseer’s team owns your migration, model setup, and training. Hosted in the EU, built and run by EU engineers. Weeks to first shared forecast, not quarters.
Your ERP did its job. The middle layer broke. Farseer fixes it.
Plug Farseer into the systems you already trust. Replace the spreadsheets, exports, and back and forth in the middle with one governed planning engine
Excel can't scale. Farseer was built for the moment it breaks.

Excel + Email
Breaks beyond 2–3 versions. Each new scenario means duplicating the model and praying nothing breaks.

An AI that never does the math

Farseer’s AI chat uses OpenAI’s enterprise API to translate natural language into commands for Farseer’s calculation. The engine does the math, not the language model. Only the minimum context needed for an answer is sent. Customer data is not used to train OpenAI models. Role based access controls govern what users (and the AI) can see. Forecasting and time-series models run inside Farseer’s own infrastructure with no external AI API. AI functions are auxiliary, with human review required and no autonomous decisions.

Standard Farseer DPA included in the service agreement. Sub-processor obligations governed by Google Cloud’s Data Processing and Security Terms. EU aligned.
Farseer’s AI is used as an auxiliary tool with human review on every output aligned with the EU AI Act’s requirements for human oversight on financial decision systems. Our internal AI architecture documentation describes how the calculation engine (not the language model) produces every number, and is available on request to enterprise customers.
Rama, our calculation engine, handles millions of rows. Hrvatski Telekom (€1B+ telco) runs production.
For most EU enterprise customers, our standard Google Cloud EU deployment (europe-west1, Belgium) with Standard Contractual Clauses, encryption in transit and at rest, and contractual data residency is sufficient. Customers with strict sovereignty requirements can discuss enterprise/custom deployment options with Sales.
