Still have questions?

What is Cube and how does it support manufacturing financial planning in Excel and Google Sheets?

Cube is a no-code FP&A platform that integrates seamlessly into Excel and Google Sheets, as well as Slack and Teams, on both Macs and PCs. Manufacturing finance teams can continue using their preferred tools while gaining centralized control over data, one-click syncs, and automated reporting and workflows.

How does Cube help with plant-level performance tracking and forecasting?

Cube consolidates data from your ERP, MES, and other operational systems into a centralized, multi-dimensional model. This enables plant-level tracking of costs, capacity utilization, and production KPIs. Teams can forecast output, margins, and labor needs across facilities in real time, directly in their spreadsheets.

Can Cube support scenario planning for material costs or production delays?

Yes. Cube’s scenario modeling lets you run “what-if” analyses across cost drivers like raw material prices, labor costs, or line downtime. You can compare forecast vs. budget vs. actuals, or model best- and worst-case supply chain scenarios, all while keeping your source data intact.

How does Cube enable driver-based planning for manufacturing teams?

Cube connects key operational drivers, such as machine hours, material input costs, production volume, or scrap rates, to your financial models. This enables driver-based planning across COGS, gross margin, throughput, and capacity, customized to your plant or product lines.

What data integrations does Cube offer for manufacturing FP&A teams?

Cube integrates with ERPs (like NetSuite, SAP, Oracle), MES systems, inventory tools, and more. It supports no-code data ingestion, mapping, and cleaning across entities, facilities, or currencies, eliminating the need for manual imports and VLOOKUPs.

How secure is Cube for large manufacturing enterprises?

Built on AWS, Cube is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. It offers granular access controls, audit trails, versioning, and encryption both at rest and in transit, addressing enterprise-level security needs.

What manufacturing KPIs and variance analysis can Cube support?

With Cube’s Smart Analysis, you can track financial and operational variances like yield loss, production cost variance, overhead absorption, and gross margin by product or plant. Easily drill into drivers, surface anomalies, and share insights via Excel, Sheets, or Slack/Teams.

How does Cube support collaboration between finance, operations, and supply chain teams?

Cube enables secure collaboration across departments with shared planning templates, controlled workflows, audit trails, and real-time versioning. Operations, finance, and supply chain teams can work in synced spreadsheets while staying aligned and audit-ready.

Does Cube support workforce and labor planning for manufacturing?

Absolutely. Cube includes templates and data connections for workforce planning across plants, shifts, or roles. Model overtime, labor cost per unit, hiring plans, and union/non-union workforce mixes, directly in Excel or Google Sheets, synced to Cube’s centralized data model.
