Quantrix Modeler FAQs
Quantrix Modeler desktop application is a multidimensional modeling tool used for financial planning, forecasting, scenario analysis, and complex business logic. It replaces spreadsheets with a structured, scalable modeling environment.
Quantrix Modeler and Qloud are developed by Quantrix, a business modeling and analytics software company headquartered in Portland, Maine, USA. Founded in 2002, it specializes in tools for financial forecasting, budgeting, planning, and risk modeling. Quantrix was acquired by IDBS in 2010 and is now part of Danaher Corporation. Smart Modeling Solutions represents Quantrix as an authorized partner across Europe.

Quantrix uses a multidimensional structure instead of cell‑based formulas. This eliminates broken links, reduces errors, and makes models easier to maintain, expand, and audit. Let’s assume you need to calculate P&L for several business units. You do not copy and paste the structure and logic of the P&L into new sheets to calculate P&L for each unit. Instead of generating countless sheets you create a cube where structure and calculation logic of P&L shared across all business units. You write significantly less formulae (sometimes thousand times less) compared to Excel. One Quantrix formula works across all months, projects, regions, scenarios, etc.
