Empiraa GPS for private equity and investors
One reporting standard across the portfolio.
Empiraa GPS puts the value creation plan inside the business, not in a deck about it. Each company you back runs its plan in GPS, so every board report comes out in the same shape, from live data, and you can see progress between meetings instead of waiting for the pack.

- Unlimited users
- 30-day pilot
The challenge
The plan was agreed at close. Then reporting went back to spreadsheets.
Every company reports differently, on its own template, in its own words, a month after the month ended. By the time a number looks wrong, the quarter is gone.
What gets in the way
Every company reports differently
A different template, a different definition and a different level of detail from each one.
The value creation plan drifts
What was agreed at close is not what the management team is working on by month six.
You find out late
A board pack is a rear-view mirror. The first sign of a miss arrives after the quarter closes.
Management time goes on packs
The team spends the first week of the month building a report instead of running the business.
How GPS helps
The plan lives in the business, and the report falls out of it.
How it works for investors
The value creation plan, on one page
The goals agreed at close become measures with owners, targets and dates, on a page every leader in the business can see. Nothing is a slide about the plan.
Progress against pace, not against last month
GPS works out where each measure should be by today and shows the gap, so a goal turns amber weeks before a quarter closes rather than after it.
The same board report every time
Pick the report type, period and tone. GPS writes it from live data in the same shape for every company, leading with the decisions the board is being asked to make.
Accountability you can inspect
The Accountability Chart shows who owns what in the management team, where a seat is vacant and where one person is carrying too much of the plan.
Built for how you work
Made for the people around the board table.
What investors get
Access between meetings
Directors can see the plan itself with live progress, not only the pack.

Financial measures update from Xero and pipeline from HubSpot, so the report is not retyped.

Questions
Questions investors ask.
Does each company get its own workspace?
Yes. Every organisation runs in its own workspace, with its own plan, users and data kept separate from the others. Read about security.
Do we get the same report from every company?
Yes, as long as each company runs its plan in GPS. The report types, the sections and the way progress is measured are the same in every workspace, so the packs arrive in the same shape. See board reporting.
Can investors and directors see progress between meetings?
Yes. Give a director access to the workspace and they see the plan with live progress on every goal, rather than waiting for the next pack. See GPS for boards.
Does GPS replace our finance or reporting stack?
No. Keep the systems that run the ledger, consolidation and diligence. GPS runs the plan above them, and pulls financial measures in from Xero so progress reflects the actuals. See integrations.
Can we start with one company?
Yes. We run 30-day pilots with one leadership team, using their real plan, before you roll GPS out across the portfolio. We agree the pilot terms with you in the demo. See how pricing and pilots work.
