Virtivity Apollo

Execute plans quickly. Make decisions with greater clarity.

Many companies face the same challenges: planning processes take too long, Excel solutions have reached their limits and new requirements regularly result in additional work for IT and other departments. Meanwhile, expectations for forecasts, simulations, and integrated analytics are on the rise. That is exactly why APOLLO was developed.

Since 1999, the team behind APOLLO has focused exclusively on system-supported business planning. Based on many years of project experience, they developed a solution that helps companies implement planning, forecasting and reporting more efficiently and reliably. In 2020, product development was outsourced to Virtivity GmbH. More than 100 companies in the DACH region now rely on APOLLO.

Expert in integrated business planning

Many plnning tools offer either a high degree of standardization or maximum customization. This often leads to problems in everyday use: Rigid off-the-shelf software doesn’t fit a company’s specific processes, while custom developments result in high project and maintenance costs. APOLLO combines the best of both worlds.

The solution is based on IBM Planning Analytics (formerly TM1) combines a powerful enterprise database with preconfigured applications for modern FP&A processes. This enables companies to reduce implementation effort, minimize the risk of errors, and achieve productive results faster.
