PULSE adds the planning layer around what works.
What does PULSE mean for your role?
Make budget collection easier without giving up control.
Give contributors a clear place to enter their numbers and context while Finance retains visibility of the overall budgeting process.
Dedicated input forms
Budget holders work only within the areas they are responsible for.
Notes beside numbers
Supporting context stays alongside the financial input.
Draft persistence
Contributors can leave and return to work already in progress.
Central review
Finance can see draft input, track submissions and release forms for changes.
Let budget holders do their part without breaking the model apart.
Give contributors a clear place to prepare their budgets and supporting assumptions while Finance keeps visibility of the process centrally.
Prepare & distribute.
Finance defines the relevant forms, access and budgeting areas, then distributes the work to contributors.
Work where the numbers and assumptions belong.

PULSE keeps the financial thinking. It changes the structure around it.
Bring planning, assumptions and financial analysis into one connected environment, while keeping the models and financial logic your school already understands.
Plan from the same financial structure.
Work with actuals, budgets and scenarios across the dimensions your school uses from accounts and periods to departments, classes and locations.
Change the assumption.
See where it lands.
Model the operational assumptions behind the budget and connect calculated outputs directly to the financial positions they drive.
Keep the thinking behindthe numbers.
Behind the budget are enrolment models, staffing calculations, salary assumptions, fee models and the spreadsheets your finance team uses to work out what those numbers should be.
No blank-page rebuild. Existing workbook tabs, formulas and calculation logic can be brought into PULSE Assumption Sheets instead of being recreated manually.
Analyse the same financial reality from different views.
Move from financial statements to variance and dimensional analysis without creating another version of the model underneath the numbers.
