Our origins

Built for specific needs. Brought together as BRBDesk.

BRBDesk began as separate tools custom-built for specific customer use cases: first for Meituan, then for Bureau Veritas, and for other customers. Bringing those tools together created an EPM product with a range of available toolkits, built around a shared core.

The core: OLAP + BRBxL

Our own in-memory OLAP engine powers the models and calculations. BRBxL connects that core to Excel, where your team can keep working on analysis and input.

Modules shaped around your business

Alongside the existing planning and control toolkits, we can custom-build specific dashboards and workflows for your team's needs and processes. Discovery identifies which available modules fit and where tailored work is needed.

One core. Available toolkits. Your way of working.

Start with our OLAP engine and BRBxL, then bring in the available EPM toolkits your team needs. During discovery, we scope and quote any client-specific dashboards, workflows and other tailoring.

Keep your team in Excel. Give them an engine underneath.

We recommend Excel for the majority of end-user tasks. It minimizes change management and keeps users efficient at analysis and input, while BRBDesk handles the model, security and consolidation.
