Verdict · Editorial assessment
A collaborative planning platform to compare when finance, commercial and workforce assumptions need one shared model rather than separate spreadsheet versions. Its distinctive evaluation boundary is the governed relationship between models and interactive interfaces: Pigment’s Frames can write to live planning data, so usability and permission design should be assessed together. It is a planning-system choice, not evidence of a replacement bookkeeping ledger.
What the vendor describes
- Pigment describes Frames as interfaces built over live planning models, including executive views and collection forms that can read and write model data. Source ↗
- Pigment says Graphite provides a shared semantic layer, granular access controls, flexible dimensional modelling and native what-if scenarios, with ERP/CRM/HRIS data brought into a governed layer. Source ↗
Pricing and commercial scope
No public numeric subscription amount was established from the checked overview and platform extracts. Request a quote specifying model/workspace scope, contributors, AI and Frames entitlements, data connections, implementation and support. Elastic-compute and limitless-planning claims are not a price schedule or proof of unlimited contractual resource usage.
Pricing status: Quote required. Request implementation scope and delivery timing in a separate quote.
Limitations of this assessment
- AI-generated interfaces and model changes were not tested. Define approval, audit and rollback requirements for any workflow writing to a live plan.
- Customer speed anecdotes are vendor-hosted testimonials, not general performance guarantees. Budget for model design, metric definitions and ongoing finance ownership rather than assuming flexibility removes modelling work.
European requirements to verify
- To verify: Planning and workforce data require European privacy and employment-data review, including role-level visibility and retention. The checked pages do not establish statutory accounting, VAT or mandatory e-invoicing support; keep those legal requirements separate from planning and scenario analysis.Source ↗
- To verify: Contractual hosting locations, subprocessors, international transfers and retention need a DPA review; the checked product pages do not establish suitability for a particular European entity.
Integration boundaries
- To verify: Pigment advertises scheduled imports, custom APIs and ERP/CRM/HRIS connections. Validate the selected connector, dimensional reconciliation, cadence and human/AI permissions. Frames’ ability to write live planning data does not imply authorised write-back to an external ERP.Source ↗
