FAQ

When does a project become profitable?

From the first automations, thanks to time savings and increased data reliability. In addition, Apage on-demand, our subscription format, allows you to limit the initial investment to access these advanced technologies, which ensures a faster ROI than a traditional mission.

How do you ensure the security of my data?

We work exclusively with globally recognized technologies (Microsoft Power BI, Power Automate, Fabric), which comply with international security standards. Your data is hosted in secure environments, with encryption and strict access controls. The confidentiality and protection of your information are at the heart of our approach, so that you can automate and analyze with confidence.

What technologies do you use?

We work mainly with the Microsoft ecosystem: Power BI, Power Automate and Fabric, world leaders in Business Intelligence and Automation: Power BI, Power Automate and Fabric. These tools offer power, reliability, and scalability. You thus benefit from the latest innovations on the market, without hidden technological costs. While Microsoft has a major share, that doesn't mean we're excluding other solutions. So, in a non-exhaustive way, we also use technologies such as: Tableau, Qlik, Zapier, Knime, Alteryx...

Do you need technical skills to use your tools?

No our solutions are designed for business users. In addition, we train your teams if necessary.

What types of processes can you automate?

Financial reporting, inventory management, data consolidation, data consolidation, sales monitoring, compliance checks, etc. Where there is data, there are opportunities for optimization.

How does onboarding take place once the offer has been chosen?

You will receive an email confirming your registration with an onboarding pack (link to our private calendar to make an appointment), a form to complete in order to provide us with essential information for our collaboration, as well as other useful information.

Is it suitable for an SME or only for large companies?

Our solutions adapt to all business sizes. SMEs find it an immediate lever to save time and make their data reliable, while large structures benefit from better integration and global management. The subscription is designed to evolve with your needs.

Can I cancel if I am not satisfied?

Yes, and that's the whole point of Apage On-Demand, to offer you the best experience while remaining affordable and without making a long-term commitment. You are satisfied with our services: you continue. You are not: you stop. This is a strong differentiation from other current market players.

What is the average time between signature and startup?

We ensure the availability of our teams within 24 or 48 hours depending on the offer chosen. Of course this does not mean that we carry out the mission within these deadlines because it depends on the complexity of the mission, on your availability or that of your teams. On the other hand, you are sure to be able to talk to our experts within this period of 24 or 48 hours via a private calendar that we share with you when you subscribe to one of our subscriptions.

What concrete gains can I expect?

The gains you can expect are the same as when we carry out a mission: reduced reporting time, increased data reliability, savings on repetitive tasks or on software that is no longer useful thanks to our automation.

How much does a controlling assistance mission cost ?

Rates vary according to duration, scope and complexity. We offer clear quotes and flexible formats: time-sharing, one-off assignment or fixed price. Each euro invested must generate a measurable gain. As a rule of thumb our missions generally range from €5 000 to €15 000.

Do you have experience in a multi-company or group environment ?

Yes, we work regularly in contexts of consolidation, multi-ERP or international environments. Our expertise covers intercom flows, account mapping, and financial reporting processes. Group rigor is part of our DNA.

What does your support for closings consist of ?

We work on the acceleration and reliability of closings: cut-off process, analytical review, reconciliations, margin validation. We can also help structure your closing schedule. You gain in rigor, speed and visibility.

What missions do you offer in management control ?

We set up or optimize your management tools: dashboards, budgets, forecasts, and performance indicators. The objective is to inform your decisions with reliable and actionable data. Our approach is pragmatic and results-oriented.

Is automation suitable for SMEs or only for large companies?

SMEs have everything to gain from automation: they can do more with less, without complexity. Modern tools are accessible, inexpensive, and adapted to agile structures. We adapt each solution to your size and priorities.

What concrete gains can we expect from an automation project?

Saving time, reducing errors, traceability, and reliability are the most immediate benefits. Teams gain in operational efficiency and peace of mind. In the long run, automation frees up time for analysis and growth.

Do you need technical skills to use BI tools?

No, the tools we are putting in place are designed to be accessible and simple to use. We train key users so they can navigate, filter, and export their data without dependency. Complexity is managed upfront, not by the end user.

When does a BI project become profitable?

A well-structured project shows gains from the first weeks: reduction in reporting time, increased reliability, better visibility. Profitability depends on the initial complexity, but ROIs are often visible as early as 2 to 3 months. We prioritize quick wins to maximize impact.

What is Business Intelligence (BI) and why is it useful for my business?

Business Intelligence transforms your data into clear, interactive and reliable dashboards to manage your decisions. It centralizes information, reduces human errors, and makes it possible to act more quickly. It is a strategic lever for all directions, not just financial departments.

What tools do you use to automate processes?

We use proven tools like Power Automate, Power Query, or Python, according to your environment. The choice depends on your technical constraints and your goals. Automation is always transparent and controllable.

What types of tasks can be automated in my business?

Repetitive, manual, and low-value-added tasks are the best candidates: data extractions, Excel consolidations, email sending, or file updates. Automation frees up time for analysis and decision making. It reinforces the reliability of processes.

Do you have to pay for the tools you are implementing ?

We mainly use Microsoft tools (Power BI, Power Automate). Depending on your business subscription, these may or may not be included. The choice is made according to your needs, with total transparency on costs. No tool is imposed without validation on your part.

What are your employees' qualifications ?

Our employees combine field expertise in Finance, certifications on the tools used (Power BI, Power Automate...), and experience in change management. They are continuously trained in the best practices on the market. Their strength: speaking both technical and business language.

Do these tools need to be maintained?

These tools are designed to be sturdy and require little maintenance. However, in the event of changes in your data or organization, punctual adjustments may be necessary. We can offer support on request or on a recurring basis.

Since these tools are disruptive, how does the transmission take place following a mission?

We train your teams and document every deliverable to ensure autonomy. The handover includes on-boarding materials and, if needed, a post-project support period. The goal: to make you fully independent.

What is the average price for a mission?

Rates depend on the complexity, duration and tools used. We offer transparent packages or time spent, always adjusted to your real needs. A precise estimate is always drawn up beforehand. As a rule of thumb, projects are generally between €5 000 and €15 000.

What is the average time between the signing of the mission and its execution?

We generally start within 5 to 10 working days after validation. This time frame makes it possible to effectively frame the need and ensure optimal implementation. Responsiveness is part of our commitment.
