Frequently Asked Questions

With conventional software solutions it takes a lot of time to make adaptions in your budget and financing plan. You have to spend valuable time with...

• typing data
• currency conversions
• creating new cost scenarios
• checking formulas
• touching up the formatting
• checking totals
• alignments with your financial accounting
• data updates

With LineProducer it takes only a few clicks to carry out all these operations. This will save you valuable hours and even days or weeks in case of long-term projects. The investment in LineProducer already pays off if you only save three hours per month.

Operating errors known from Excel (subsequently added lines are not taken into account) can be ruled out. The transparency of LineProducer helps you not to overlook important information. Even under time pressure you will work with pinpoint accuracy and will be able to make the right decisions.

With LineProducer you can present your projects very clearly, which will give you valuable support for your decisions.

All projects which have so far been produced with LineProducer have been accepted. Generally, the (e.g. printed) data and not the software are relevant for the acceptance of a budget or a financing plan.
