What it is
Lucanet is a cloud-deployed, web-based financial planning and management platform for organizations working across multiple entities. It supports approval workflows, scenario planning, actual-versus-budget comparisons, rolling forecasts, multi-entity budgeting, and accounting integrations. Multi-entity support is listed for organizations planning across more than one entity. Lucanet names three plans: Basic, Advanced, and Professional. The Basic plan includes Consolidation and Financial Planning, Extended Planning and Analysis, ESG Reporting, Disclosure Management, Lease Accounting, and Banking and Cash Management. The maker, Lucanet, was founded in 1999 and is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Its listed functions cover planning, budgeting, consolidation, reporting, and review processes, while the cloud deployment keeps the product on the web platform. Organizations can use the named plans as a starting point for discussing scope, but the available facts do not specify feature details for Advanced or Professional.
