Centage and BizBone have announced a strategic partnership designed to help small and medium-sized businesses better connect their financial planning with their day-to-day operations. The aim is to provide a more integrated approach to financial management, contract execution and operational management.
This collaboration is primarily aimed at companies operating in tender and contract-based markets, where coordination between finance, operations and HR teams quickly becomes complex after a project is awarded.
Greater continuity between contracts and financial management
In many SMEs, the transition from contract signing to execution remains largely fragmented. Data moves between multiple tools, teams work in silos, and executives sometimes struggle to obtain a consolidated view of their activities.
The partnership between Centage and BizBone seeks to address this issue by combining:
- Centage’s FP&A capabilities for budgeting, forecasting and financial reporting;
- with BizBone’s ERP platform dedicated to the operational management of contract-oriented businesses.
According to Paul Lynch, Centage’s CEO, this collaboration should enable finance and operations teams to gain a clearer, centralized view of the business, while reducing reliance on manual processes and spreadsheets.
A trend toward more connected platforms
This partnership also illustrates a broader shift in the enterprise management software market. SMEs are increasingly looking for solutions capable of connecting financial and operational data in a single environment to gain faster visibility into their performance.
For Mike McHugh, BizBone’s CEO, the integration of Centage’s FP&A capabilities will make it possible to transform operational data into more forward-looking financial analyses, improving executive decision-making.
For his part, Jeff Greening, Centage’s channel partnerships lead, believes that this alliance addresses growing demand from businesses for better-integrated tools capable not only of analyzing past performance, but also of anticipating future developments.
Through this initiative, Centage and BizBone therefore aim to provide SMEs with a more unified approach to financial and operational management, at a time when the need for visibility and agility is becoming increasingly strategic.
