Live reporting and writeback in native Excel. Direct API connection. No server infrastructure. No separate budgeting product.
Velixo connects directly to Sage Intacct and puts live data into the Excel workbooks your finance team already uses. Pull any data, drill to transactions, push journals, budgets, forecasts, and allocations back from the same workbook, without leaving Excel. Bring one of your existing Intacct reports. We'll rebuild it live in Velixo so you can see the difference immediately.
Book your demoA Tale of Two Approaches
When evaluating Excel-based reporting and data automation tools for your ERP, the choice often comes down to breadth versus depth.
Spreadsheet Server is a long-standing, multi-ERP reporting tool that connects to dozens of different systems to surface data inside Excel. It is a reliable option for teams whose primary requirement is basic, refreshable financial reports and transactional drilldown. However, because it is a general-purpose platform supporting over 140 different ERPs, its depth within any single system has distinct limits. Furthermore, it operates on older architecture – installing strictly as a Windows COM add-in that requires significant IT infrastructure, network share configurations, and ongoing maintenance to manage security files and formula links. It is also a strictly read-only tool; pushing budgets or journals back into your ERP requires purchasing and managing entirely separate software products.
Velixo, by contrast, rejects the broad, multi-ERP approach to focus deeply on a select few systems. Instead of relying on rigid infrastructure, Velixo connects directly to your ERP via secure live APIs with no sync jobs, staging tables, or third-party warehouses. It is built for the modern workplace, running seamlessly across Windows, Mac, and Excel Online with zero IT maintenance required – even natively respecting your ERP’s existing user security credentials. Crucially, Velixo is a fully bidirectional workspace. Financial reporting, automated multi-company consolidations, and writeback capabilities (including journals, budgets, allocations, and forecasts) all live inside a single unified product. To accelerate time-to-value, it also delivers built-in AI assistants alongside pre-built, industry-specific report templates for sectors like Construction, Nonprofit, and Hospitality.
Where the difference becomes concrete
Purpose-built for Sage Intacct users
Velixo’s Intacct integration isn’t adapted from a generic ERP connector. It’s built around how Intacct data is actually structured: dimensions, entities, projects, books, with functions that behave like Excel formulas and drilldown that resolves directly to Intacct transaction detail.
That depth shows up in the template library. Velixo ships production-ready templates built specifically for Intacct finance and project workflows. These aren’t starting points that require significant build-out. They reflect what Intacct finance teams actually run.
Spreadsheet Server’s breadth across dozens of ERPs is a genuine capability. It’s also why depth in any single one has limits.

Common questions from teams evaluating Spreadsheet Server
It might not matter today. It’s worth considering whether your team’s work patterns are changing: more remote work, more Mac users on the team, finance staff accessing workbooks from outside the office. Velixo’s add-in works the same across all three environments without any additional configuration.
The honest answer is that some rebuild is involved. Spreadsheet Server formula syntax doesn’t transfer directly to Velixo. But the underlying report logic and workbook structures usually translate faster than teams expect, because Velixo functions are cell-based and familiar to anyone who knows Excel. Teams typically find that rebuilding a report in Velixo also makes it easier to maintain going forward.
Yes, and it’s built-in Velixo rather than a separate product. Budget writeback to Sage Intacct, forecast updates, allocation journals, and project estimate management are all part of Velixo’s core workflow. You don’t need to evaluate and purchase a second tool when you’re ready to move beyond reporting.
Velixo currently supports Sage Intacct, Acumatica, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, MYOB Acumatica, and a small number of other ERPs. If your organization runs multiple ERP systems and needs a single reporting tool across all of them, it’s worth discussing which ERPs are in scope.
