Why finance teams choose Velixo over CData

CData is a connectivity tool. Velixo is a finance reporting and planning tool built for ERP users in Excel.

If your team wants raw access to application data and has the technical skills to query, model, and maintain that logic, CData can help. But if your goal is faster financial reporting, easier analysis, and direct writeback inside Excel, Velixo is the better fit.

Velixo gives finance teams live Sage Intacct data in Excel with ERP-aware formulas, built-in drilldown, and writeback workflows for journals, budgets, forecasts, and more. There’s no need to understand the underlying data model just to build a balance sheet or refresh an operating report .

What makes Velixo different

Built for finance, not developers

Velixo is designed for finance teams who need to build reports quickly in Excel. Instead of querying raw tables or writing SQL, users work with purpose-built ERP functions that make common reporting tasks faster and easier.

Reporting plus writeback

Velixo does more than pull data into Excel. Your team can also push journals, budgets, forecasts, and other updates back into Sage Intacct directly from the same workbook, turning Excel into a working layer instead of just an extraction point.

Native Excel workflow with live ERP context

Velixo works inside real Excel and adds ERP knowledge on top of it — including tailored functions, drilldown to source transactions, and support for modern Microsoft 365 workflows.

Built for how finance actually works

Finance teams do not want to become data analysts just to produce reliable reports.

They need live data, flexible formatting, familiar workflows, and confidence in the numbers. Velixo keeps teams in Excel while connecting directly to Sage Intacct, so they can refresh reports instantly, drill into transactions, and update data without exporting, rebuilding, or relying on IT to translate raw data into something usable.

What teams gain with Velixo

Real-time reporting in native Excel

Purpose-built functions for Sage Intacct reporting

One-click drilldown to source transactions

Journal, budget, and forecast writeback

Less manual setup and less dependence on IT

A faster path from ERP data to finished reports

A better alternative to generic data connectors

CData is powerful when the goal is broad connectivity across many systems. But broad connectivity is not the same as a finance reporting workflow.

Velixo is purpose-built for ERP reporting and planning in Excel. That means your team gets formulas that speak the language of finance, real-time access to ERP data, direct drilldown, and writeback workflows that support the actual work of controllers, FP&A teams, and finance leaders.
