Under the hood

OLAP and BRBxL at the core. Modules built around your business.

BRBDesk brings customer-built tools together into one EPM product. Our own in-memory OLAP engine and BRBxL form the core, with PostgreSQL as the ETL layer, an AI Modeler, and modules for client-specific dashboards and workflows.

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.

Surface

Excel first. Web when you want it.

BRBxL, our Excel Add-In, puts live cube data in the workbook your team already knows. Dashboards, board decks and workflows run in the browser off the same model.

Intelligence

Ask why the number moved.

AI traces variances to their drivers, the same answer every time, governed by your permissions. Callable from chat, the web, or Excel.

AI Modeler

Describe the model. The AI builds it.

Tell the AI Modeler what you need, such as a headcount plan, a revenue bridge, or an allocation, and it generates dimensions, rules and forms you can review and refine.

In-memory OLAP

Our own cube engine. Instant at any scale.

A purpose-built in-memory OLAP engine calculates allocations, FX translation, consolidations and driver logic in real time, across every dimension, entity and scenario.

ETL on PostgreSQL

One governed staging layer.

Source data lands in PostgreSQL, where it is cleansed, mapped and versioned. Transformations are transparent SQL, auditable and easy to extend.

Integration

Connect to every ERP.

Native connectivity to all major ERPs, HRIS and CRMs over ODBC, JDBC or REST API. Every sync is monitored, so a broken feed is caught before it corrupts a number.

Planning, control and exploration. Built in.

These toolkits are already part of BRBDesk. Use the capabilities that fit your needs, with client-specific dashboards and workflows built around the OLAP and BRBxL core where needed.
