A3 Solutions

A3 Solutions is the developer of A3 Modeling, a tool that enhances regular Excel for enterprise-level budgeting and forecasting. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Alongside the main category they mention Finance. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

A3 Solutions is based in San Francisco, California and around since 1988. Their site is a3solutions.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.

If you have worked with A3 Solutions, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
