IFRS statements made easy
Draftworx removes the complexity of producing International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) financial statements. With a Draftworx integration, you can automatically generate up to 80% of the data you need for IFRS and XBRL requirements from inside IDU, with a single click. You can then fine-tune for detailed compliance with statutory requirements inside a Draftworx environment.
Complex consolidations made easy
Quick Consols is a financial consolidation tool aimed at group and complex companies. The cloud-based software automates the consolidation of complex groups with multiple year-ends, multiple currencies and multiple ERP systems with a slice-and-dice approach to reporting. It is an easy-to-use, cost-effective platform that eliminates the reliance on spreadsheets, saving time and improving the decision-making process.
Empowered financial management meets technology
IDU is proud to have achieved Microsoft Solutions Partner designation for both “Data and AI” and “Digital and App” Innovation. IDU leverages the Microsoft technology platform to deliver functionally rich, easy-to-use, empowered financial management solutions.
Beyond the named platforms
If it has SSIS or an API, IDU connects to it.
IDU's integration capability is effectively unlimited. Wherever a general ledger exposes its data — through SSIS, an ERP-provided API, or a structured export — IDU can read from it and write back to it.
That is the difference between a platform with a fixed connector list and one with an integration framework: as your stack evolves, the platform follows. Customers in their second decade with IDU have changed ERPs without changing FP&A systems.
