What is CPM?

Corporate Performance Management — more than just the finances.

CPM is the discipline of connecting your plans, your actuals and your decisions — across finance and the wider business. Most tools call themselves CPM or FP&A but stop at the general ledger.

FastClose goes further: it understands the full structure of your ERP out of the box, so you can report on inventory, manufacturing, jobs and operations as easily as you report on the P&L. One live platform for the whole picture.

Six capabilities. One platform.

Each is a full solution in its own right. Together they're the complete CPM picture.

01 Reporting & Operational Reporting

Powerful management and operational reports directly against live ERP tables — financials, inventory, manufacturing and projects. No copying, no SQL. Drill to detail; navigate to related reports. Deepest in Epicor today; financial core on all other platforms.

02 Planning & Budgeting

Plan and submit budgets in Excel from your own history, then blend with live actuals to see where you stand against plan — in real time. Bring cost-centre managers into the process without losing control.

Works across all supported ERP platforms.

03 Reconciliation & Audit

Reconcile control accounts and stock balances in minutes. Purpose-built GRNI and stock reconciliation dashboards surface discrepancies before they become month-end problems — drillable to the source transaction.

GRNI & stock recs deepest in Epicor today.

04 Group Consolidation

Consolidated group accounts across companies and currencies, with translation of assets, liabilities and P&L at the right rates — from live ERP data. Even across multiple, completely separate ERP instances blended into one report.

In SAP Business One, where each company is its own instance, this is often the only route to consolidated group accounts.

FastClose's party piece: reports seamlessly across multiple, separate ERP instances — blending them into one live consolidated report. Luceco uses it across 10 companies in 4 currencies.

05 Analytics & Dashboards

Visual analytics you actually own. Our free static charting engine sits on the FastClose scheduler or runs in any browser — turns any FastClose JSON into a polished KPI dashboard, no licence, no lock-in.

Power BI and Tableau fully supported too — FastClose surfaces ERP data already shaped in plain business terms, hiding the table joins and cutting build effort by up to 70%.

06 Security & Control

An integrated security framework locks data down by any ERP dimension — company, cost centre, account, warehouse. Control who sees which reports, graphics and KPIs. The right numbers, to the right people, only.

How it works

Different tools for different users — one set of numbers.

Power users build and control; everyone else gets exactly the live data they need, in the tool they already use.
