You are spot on. Excel is too manual for timely forecasts. Sage Intacct has options.
Sage Intacct Planning is the native add-on. It pulls data directly, automates the cycle, and lets users access forecasts without emailing spreadsheets. Best for getting rid of the manual grind.
Vena sits on top of Excel but connects to Intacct. Good if your team is Excel obsessed and wants data integration without learning a new interface.
Modeloptic is another third-party option on the Intacct Marketplace for FP&A.
If you just need inventory forecasting, Intacct has a built-in feature for that, but that is specific to stock.
My pick? Sage Intacct Planning. It solves the exact problem you described.
