Housingbrixxx vs Spreadsheet

MRI HousingBrixx vs the traditional spreadsheet

Excel spreadsheets can only take your financial and strategic modelling so far. Vulnerable spreadsheet methods can lead to a lack of agility and scalability, human error and slow consolidation processes; meaning frustrating financial processes that often result in the inevitable output of errors – damaging confidence and potential loss of opportunity. Finance departments are having to work harder to make complex reports work, whereas with MRI’s financial modelling software, you don’t even have to think about it.

Understanding of time and accounting behaviours

Your financial models need to represent multiple forecasts and scenario breakdowns in the time frames you want. MRI HousingBrixx allows you to to do this effortlessly, without breaking any formulas or compromising the integrity of your numbers.

Being able to plan, forecast, budget, and report are fundamental functions for finance departments, with the outcome being a set of sound decisions and direction on financial strategy. MRI HousingBrixx allows you to view all these reports collaboratively, whereas in a spreadsheet environment, these functions are multiple exchanges of data and files, stored in separate spreadsheet formats that are difficult to be seen together.

MRI HousingBrixx - Understanding of best-practice modelling methods

Understanding of best-practice modelling methods

Unlike spreadsheets, the only variable factor which the user can control are the inputs. With around 300 objects within our modelling system, they form intelligent, non-breakable ‘building blocks’ that can be modified to the frequency, duration, title and date that has meaning to you. Spreadsheets do not have this locked down secure approach inherently built in and are therefore vulnerable to corruption
