IGSMT®A Asset Management
The possibilities within the scope of IGS asset management go far beyond the classic asset accounting functions. They aim, among other things, to precisely control investments (replacement and expansion investments) and to plan (forecast, depreciation, financial requirements) as well as to create well-founded forecasts for development (forecast) – based on controlling. The range of functions extends to an integrated workflow, which can be used to process investment applications against the budget.

The controlling tool can be precisely and easily parameterized to the company-specific requirements, whereby the users themselves can also make definitions and simulate various scenarios (e.g. plan versions).
The following features distinguish IGS Controlling:
- Accounts receivable, accounts payable, personnel and receivable controlling

IGSMT®C Balance Sheet Management
An integral part of IGS financial accounting is IGS balance sheet management, which can be called up directly via the drill-across function and also enables drill-down to the original document. IGS Balance Sheet Management is a modern reporting system that not only embeds the accounting records in the defined balance sheet and income statement schemes, generating meaningful reports from them, but also, a useful analytical tool. Multi-year comparisons, traffic light functions, rankings and many other interpretation aids sharpen the view.
The following report models, among others, are available via company-specific dashboards:
Balance sheet | Track record / P&L |
