Budget Variance Reporter
Budget variance analysis
Compares actuals to budget and explains the gaps rather than colouring cells red. Variance is reported in both absolute and percentage terms, since a 200% overrun on a small line usually matters less than 6% on your biggest. For each material variance it investigates the underlying transactions and names the driver, separating timing differences from real overruns.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Budget Variance Reporter show percentage and absolute variance?
Absolute and percentage terms reveal different levels of materiality: a 200% overrun on a small line may matter less than 6% on the biggest line.
How does Budget Variance Reporter find the driver behind a material gap?
It investigates the underlying transactions and names the driver instead of stopping at a red or green cell.
Can Budget Variance Reporter distinguish timing from a real overrun?
Yes. Its explanation separates timing differences from real overruns for each material variance.
Which records can Budget Variance Reporter use for actuals and budget?
Google Sheets is required, and QuickBooks, Ramp and Brex are also listed for budget variance analysis.

NPS & Survey Analyzer
Turns survey exports into findings rather than a score. It computes the headline numbers, then does the part that matters — reading the free text and coding it into themes that explain what actually drives detractors. Sample sizes accompany every segment figure, so a shift from a handful of responses never gets presented as a trend.

Oasis PlatformOperationsCommission Calculator
Calculates commission from closed deals against the actual comp plan — attainment, rate tiers, accelerators, splits and clawbacks. It shows the working per rep so anyone can verify their own number without a spreadsheet archaeology session. Where the plan is ambiguous it stops and asks rather than picking an interpretation, because getting this wrong damages trust permanently.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsInvoice vs PO Matcher
Three-way matches invoices against purchase orders and goods receipts, line by line. Exceptions show the three values side by side and name the difference precisely — "invoiced 120 units against a PO for 100", not "quantity mismatch". Duplicate invoices and invoices with no PO get their own categories, since that's where the money actually leaks.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsLate Payment Chaser
Chases overdue invoices on an escalation ladder that matches the tone to the stage — a light reminder in the first week, a direct follow-up with the terms restated after that, a human flag beyond your threshold. Before every draft it re-checks that the invoice is genuinely unpaid, because chasing someone who already paid costs more goodwill than the invoice is worth. Disputes route straight to a person.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsOps Metrics Digest
Assembles the same operational numbers on the same schedule, using the same definitions every period so the trend actually means something. Anything outside its normal range gets investigated one level down, so the digest says what moved and what drove it. When a source fails it says the metric is unavailable rather than silently omitting the line.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsInvoice to Ledger
Codes approved invoices to the right account, cost centre and tax treatment, following how similar invoices from that vendor were coded before — consistency with your existing ledger matters more than a theoretically better bucket. Entries are staged for review and never posted. New vendors, unusual amounts and duplicate invoice numbers are flagged for a human.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsMultilingual Support Responder
Handles the tickets nobody on shift can read. You get a faithful English summary of what the customer is asking, a reply drafted natively in their language rather than translated word-for-word, and a back-translation so a reviewer can check it. Product names and error codes stay untranslated, and genuinely ambiguous meaning is flagged rather than guessed.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsLicense & Seat Audit
Checks who actually uses each tool you pay per seat for. It separates the certain reclaims — licences still held by departed employees — from the judgement calls that need a manager to confirm, and attaches the per-seat cost and annual saving to each. It revokes nothing itself, and flags any tool where usage data couldn't be obtained rather than assuming full use.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsCash Flow Snapshot
A recurring read on the position: balances, receipts and payments, receivables aged into buckets, payables due in the next 30 and 60 days, and runway at your trailing burn. Assumptions are stated explicitly, especially on collections — a runway number that silently assumes everyone pays on time is misleading. Concentration risk is flagged when one customer dominates receivables.
Try this AgentOasis PlatformOperationsCandidate Outreach
Writes recruiting messages that don't read like recruiting messages. Each opens with something specific about the person's work — a project, a talk, a repo, a role change — then says plainly why this role might interest them and what it actually is. It's honest about the process and the range, and skips candidates where it couldn't find anything specific rather than sending a template.
