Tesser helps you model and understand your business in the way you actually think about it.

Businesses are made up of building blocks and dimensions: products, customers, geographies, channels, locations, services, resources and many more. As business questions become more detailed, traditional spreadsheets can struggle to represent these relationships without becoming increasingly complex and difficult to maintain.

Tesser combines the flexibility of a spreadsheet with a structured, multi-dimensional modeling environment. You can build models around the real building blocks of your business, then extend, adapt and explore them as your business and questions change.

The result is faster answers, greater flexibility, fewer spreadsheet-related errors and more time spent thinking about the business rather than managing spreadsheets.

Tesser is designed for business modelers and analysts across industries and business functions.

It can support a wide range of business planning and analysis—from understanding performance and profitability to exploring scenarios, forecasts, resources, customers, products, geographies and other business drivers.

But Tesser isn’t just for the person building the model. Business planning is a collaborative process. Different people contribute assumptions and inputs, while others review, question and challenge the results.

Tesser makes it possible for people across an organization to work with the same model, with access and permissions tailored to their role. This creates a more collaborative planning process and helps maintain one version of the truth.

Tesser sits between the freedom of a spreadsheet and the structure of traditional planning and analytics applications.

Spreadsheets are incredibly flexible and make it easy to start modeling and think out loud. But they are fundamentally two-dimensional. As models become more complex, business dimensions often have to be flattened into repeated sections, worksheets and cell references—making models increasingly difficult to maintain and change.

Traditional planning and budgeting applications provide more structure, but often impose predefined ways of thinking about a business. This can make it harder to represent the business as it actually operates, particularly when the important planning drivers are operational or commercial rather than financial.

Tesser combines the best of both approaches: the flexibility to model freely, with a structured, multi-dimensional architecture that reflects the actual building blocks of your business.

You can add dimensions, combine data sources, create scenarios and introduce your own calculated metrics without having to rebuild, or re-implement your model as your questions change.

You can get started with Tesser through a free trial, supported by video tutorials—and no credit card is required.

If you’re experienced with Excel, there is a new way of thinking to get used to. Instead of writing formulas cell by cell, Tesser uses plain-language formulas that calculate across a range of cells and dimensions.

Once you get used to this approach, modeling becomes easier, more flexible and less error-prone. You can slice and dice your data, pivot between dimensions and adapt your model as your questions change - without rebuilding it from scratch.

And if you’re using an existing Tesser model rather than building one yourself, the experience is designed to be intuitive and easy to learn, much like Google Sheets.

Yes. Tesser is designed to help teams become self-reliant, while providing expert support when they need it.

Not everyone involved in business planning needs to build models. Some people contribute assumptions and inputs, while others review results, challenge assumptions or explore different scenarios.

Tesser enables these different users to work with the same underlying model, with access tailored to their role. This helps teams collaborate around a shared version of the business model and ensures that everyone is working from the same source of truth.

Depending on your needs, we can also provide training, support and model-building services. We can help you get started and become self-reliant, or act as an extension of your team and support your modeling activities as your needs evolve.

Tesser offers a free trial so you can explore the platform before committing, with no credit card required.

After the trial, pricing starts at $50/user/month for the first 5 users. Unlimited-user and academic pricing are also available.
