Business challenge

Management handled multi-year CapEx planning and forecasting in Excel, with limited data controls, version history and governance across sites. Forecast accuracy, foreign-exchange logic, approvals and budget deviations became difficult to monitor as plans changed.

The process had no consistent mechanism for monthly snapshots, validation enforcement or real-time rollups through SharePoint and mobile.

The solution

Réalta converted the spreadsheet model into a controlled, database-driven application. The system automates currency conversion, enforces data quality rules, stores monthly forecast snapshots and manages budget locking and deviation alerts.

A Next.js frontend, Python and FastAPI backend, and embedded Power BI reporting provide real-time drill-down views by site and project. The solution runs within the customer’s local hosting environment.

Business impact

Leaders gained one view of budgets, forecasts and actuals across all sites. They can track forecast accuracy against locked historical submissions, reduce manual errors, strengthen governance and move through budgeting cycles with current information available on web and mobile.
