About Point in time reporting

Adding new legal entities often involves differing systems, currencies, and business processes. Our universal ETL approach ensures new entities and their transactions are automatically detected, integrated, and loaded into Vena, maintaining consistency.

Key FP&A Challenges

Integrating new companies is complex due to differing subsidiary data systems, varied reporting approaches, and potential challenges related to local currency conversion.

Data Divergence

new subsidiaries use different systems

Currency Issues

differences arise in local and reporting currencies

Manual Updates

entities/members require manual hierarchy maintenance

Inflexible ETL

hard-coded logic prevents dynamic entity addition

Acquisition Risk

buying new companies complicates data integration

Our universal ETL is designed to accommodate dynamic changes, automatically creating new dimensions and integrating transactions seamlessly and efficiently.
