Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for finance, management and BI.
Does SmartCapital replace our ERP or BI tooling?
No. SmartCapital does not replace ERP or BI. It uses data from your existing systems and builds a governed margin and capital model on Titan. You use it in Power BI and via Ask Titan in Teams.
Do we need SmartFactory or SmartStock to start with SmartCapital?
No. You can start with financial and sales data only. Many customers later add SmartFactory, SmartStock and SmartSupply to link operational drivers directly to financial results.
How long does it take to get a first SmartCapital view?
For one business unit and one ERP, a first SmartCapital view is often possible within a few weeks. Larger rollouts across plants and countries are done in phases.
Can SmartCapital handle different charts of accounts and currencies?
Yes. We align chart of accounts, currencies and allocation rules into one model so profitability is comparable across units while keeping local detail where needed.
Do SmartCapital answers in Teams include explanations?
Yes. With Ask Titan, answers include an explanation of the underlying logic and references to the data sources and definitions used, so finance and management can trust what they see.
