A Collaborative Approach to Budgeting and Reporting

The Problem

SNHN managed roughly 200 budgeting projects on spreadsheets, with the finance team fixing formulas and chasing department managers for approvals, a heavy manual workload that limited how much financial oversight could scale across the organisation.

The Solution

After evaluating other budgeting software, SNHN selected Solver to run alongside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Global controls and input validation kept every department working from the same figures, while changes cascaded automatically across all linked budgets.

The Result

Program managers now build and own their own budgets, with dashboards showing budget-to-actuals as they happen. Approval cycles that once took weeks of email back-and-forth are now resolved in minutes, freeing the finance team for higher-value work.
