In today's business environment, technology-based enterprises face significant pressures. Enterprise informatization and data visibility present challenges amidst rapid growth and global expansion. Different systems can lead to data silos, exacerbating the difficulties of data integration. Although tech companies are often at the forefront of innovation, they still need to adapt to rapidly changing conditions through new business models, scale up to meet demand, and seek new development opportunities.
The comprehensive budget management system is a crucial aspect of internal enterprise management. A well-functioning comprehensive budget management system not only enhances and optimizes the internal operational efficiency of technology-based enterprises but also improves efficiency during budget execution, reducing operational and execution costs. Only by building a comprehensive budget management system on an accurate and scientific foundation can enterprises maximize the effectiveness of their budgeting, thereby supporting the operations and development of technology-based enterprises.
▌ Customized Development of a Comprehensive Budget Management System
Company J is a technology-focused company specializing in system integration and technological R&D. Its business scope includes intelligent manufacturing areas such as Googol Robotics, covering key industrial chains in smart manufacturing. However, multiple business systems made it difficult for various departments within Company J to share data on a unified integrated data platform. Budget management and performance management were not closely integrated, the organizational structure lacked unified management, enterprise budget compilation and reporting were inefficient, budget approval processes were cumbersome, and efficient budget control was unattainable.
To effectively address these challenges, Intcube undertook the customized development of a comprehensive budget management system for Company J. Based on actual business needs, a budget and operational analysis solution was designed, and an integrated comprehensive budget management platform for company-wide collaboration was built. This achieved online EPM management functions for departmental expense budgets, project budgets, and special budgets for functional centers. It enabled a high degree of integration between enterprise strategy and planned budgets, effectively controlling operational costs, reducing expenses, improving operational conditions, optimizing resource allocation, and increasing profitability.
▌ Using Comprehensive Budgeting as a Lever to Coordinate Group Management and Boost Strategic Development
The Company J Comprehensive Budget Management System project fully considered the strategic, developmental, and sustainable characteristics of comprehensive budget management. Balancing current budget management requirements with future budget development needs of the group, it aimed to build a scientific, reasonable, and standardized comprehensive budget management system and a unified, practical, and efficient comprehensive budget management platform. This meets the group's needs for strategic management, resource allocation, internal control, and performance evaluation management, achieving the goal of using comprehensive budgeting as a lever to coordinate group management and boost strategic development.
Achieving Budget Compilation and Reporting
The original comprehensive budget management model could no longer meet the client's need for efficient budget compilation.

It achieved unified group indicator management, modeling management, process management, and operation management, helping the client seek progress amidst stability in a evolving business environment and quickly realize a standardized budget model.
Meeting Management Needs
Due to the lack of a unified comprehensive budget management platform, the client previously overlooked the correlations between systems and data, consequently failing to meet goals for multi-department collaboration, rapid execution, data analysis, and efficient decision-making. Intcube helped Company J's functional departments and business units achieve centralized management, meeting personalized client needs and allowing for customizable multi-caliber management models. It realized all business requirements for a complete closed-loop management of comprehensive budgeting, including strategic management planning, budget compilation and reporting systems, execution control systems, variance analysis and forecasting, performance appraisal systems, management reporting, and thematic analysis.

Data integration with systems like OA and ERP was established to achieve closed-loop management of budget monitoring and analysis. Management functions such as comprehensive project budget compilation, adjustment, approval, consolidation, execution, control, and appraisal were realized.

Combining Company J's characteristics, Intcube built a comprehensive budget management system platform for enterprise-wide levels and company-wide collaboration. It solidified business logic, budget management processes, and operational procedures, using informatization means to cover the entire process management from budget compilation and approval, execution control, analysis reporting, to appraisal evaluation.
