Pigment

by Pigment SAS · est. 2019

Pigment is a modern business planning platform designed for finance and revenue operations teams that want the flexibility and speed of spreadsheets with the structure and AI capabilities of enterprise planning software. Founded in 2019, Pigment is positioned as the next-generation alternative to legacy EPM tools (Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, Oracle Hyperion) — faster to implement, easier to use, and with native AI capabilities including AI-generated forecast adjustments, anomaly alerts, and natural language query of planning models. For APAC mid-market and growing enterprises ($50M–$500M revenue) where legacy EPM tools are too expensive and complex but Excel has become unmanageable, Pigment offers a middle path: enterprise-grade planning architecture with implementation timelines of 4–12 weeks rather than 3–6 months.

What it does

Key features

  • AI-powered forecasting: ML forecast recommendations that automatically adjust projections based on detected trends, seasonality, and anomalies — reducing manual forecast adjustment work for APAC finance teams
  • Natural language analytics: query planning models in plain English ("what is our Q3 revenue forecast by market?") to get instant answers without building custom reports
  • Connected data model: ingest data from CRM (Salesforce), HRIS (Workday), ERP (NetSuite, SAP), and data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery) into a unified planning model
  • Headcount planning: dedicated headcount planning module tracking hiring plans, backfill scenarios, and budget impact — critical for APAC enterprises managing workforce across multiple countries
  • Revenue planning: integrated sales capacity, pipeline, and go-to-market planning models that connect to CRM data for pipeline-driven forecasting
  • Scenario planning: build and compare alternative scenarios with real-time impact propagation across connected planning dimensions
When to reach for it

Best for

  • APAC mid-market enterprises ($50M–$500M revenue) with growing planning complexity — multiple geographies, product lines, or business units — where Excel is causing errors and collaboration problems but legacy EPM is too expensive
  • APAC CFO teams with recent fundraising or PE/VC backing that need investor-grade financial reporting and scenario planning without a full EPM implementation programme
  • APAC revenue operations and GTM teams wanting to build integrated pipeline, headcount, and revenue planning models that connect CRM data to financial forecasts
  • APAC finance teams that have evaluated Anaplan or Oracle Hyperion and found them too complex or expensive — Pigment offers 80% of the capability with 20% of the implementation effort for most mid-market planning needs
Don't get burned

Limitations to know

  • ! Newer platform maturity: Pigment (founded 2019) is newer than Anaplan or Oracle EPM; some enterprise-scale features and integrations available in legacy platforms may not yet be present — validate specific requirements before committing
  • ! Mid-market sweet spot: Pigment is optimised for mid-market scale; very large enterprises (10,000+ employees, 50+ entities) with highly complex consolidation requirements may find Anaplan or Oracle Hyperion more appropriate
  • ! APAC ecosystem maturity: Pigment's partner and implementation ecosystem in APAC is smaller than legacy EPM vendors; regional implementation partner availability should be validated before selecting for APAC deployments
  • ! English-primary UI: Pigment's planning interface is English-primary; for APAC finance teams operating in Japanese, Korean, or Mandarin, verify language support for planning workflows
