In this session you will see how Vena Insights helps you drill into your variances to uncover the root causes in just a few clicks. You’ll also see how to use variance tables and visual comparisons to quickly identify exceptions and outliers in your planning.

Vena Insight transforms variance analysis from a time-consuming, manual process into a fast, intuitive, and insight-rich experience. With interactive, embedded Power BI dashboards, finance teams can instantly move from high-level performance metrics to granular transactional details—saving hours of investigative work and enabling faster, data-driven decisions.

The platform’s flexibility and customization mean it can be adapted across industries, whether for revenue tracking, expense control, or operational KPI analysis.

Using Vena Insight, users can:

1. Quickly Identify Variances – Visual indicators like customizable speedometers highlight budget vs. actual performance for key metrics (e.g., revenue, OPEX, EBITDA).

2. Drill Into Root Causes in Clicks – Move seamlessly from an overall summary to category-level variance, then down to location, department, product, or even individual GL accounts.

3. Analyze Across Dimensions – Break down variances by geography, operator, property, cost category, vendor, or other relevant business dimensions.

4. Tie Financials to Operational KPIs – Link occupancy rates, product mix, or other operational drivers directly to revenue and expense variances for deeper insights.

5.Access Transaction-Level Detail – Drill through to line-level transactions without leaving the dashboard, enabling fast error detection, reclassification, or budget adjustments.

6. Adapt to Any Business Model – Though the demo uses a hotel/lodging example, the dashboard can be tailored for retail, healthcare, SaaS, manufacturing, property management, and more.

Finance teams can investigate performance issues, validate data, and adjust budgets or forecasts in minutes—not days—reducing month-end close times and improving decision-making agility.
