We are thrilled to announce that Monash City Council has chosen MAGIQ Performance for their project budgeting, labour budgeting and forecasting.
Monash is one of the biggest councils in Melbourne, with a large program of works and a big workforce to plan for. They had a budgeting solution in place, but it just wasn’t giving them the level of detail they needed. That made it hard for budget owners to really dig into their numbers, especially around complex projects and labour.
MAGIQ Performance will change that. Council will be able to budget in more detail, with project costing and timing visible across their whole program of works. Labour budgeting will sit in the same place as the rest of the budget, instead of being managed off to the side. And monthly forecasting will follow a clear, repeatable process, so Council always has an up-to-date picture of where they stand.
Council will also use MAGIQ Excel Publisher to further enhance reporting. This means the finance team can build and share reports in Excel, which everyone already knows how to use, but the data will come straight from one trusted source. No more chasing versions or wondering which spreadsheet is the right one.
What Council is looking forward to:
• Detailed project budgeting, with a clear view of costs and timing across their program of works.
• Labour budgeting in one place, connected to the rest of the budget.
• Monthly forecasting that’s easy to repeat, with proper version control.
• Reporting in Excel through MAGIQ Excel Publisher, all from one source of truth.
• Budget owners who can get to the detail behind their numbers.
