ABOUT COOLERA

Coolera helps small and medium businesses to run their business by the numbers

Whether you need: a P&L, that next rolling forecast, key sales reports, scorecards, a way to snapshot and catalog key exhibits that your team frequently uses, to run complex scenarios for decision making, automated processes to save time, or data to make the next “perfect trade”, Coolera can help.

We generally find that “everyone wants it in Excel” and tend to build solutions that have Excel as one of the tools. We understand the challenges that accompany building solutions and have tools and methodologies that make it easier to quickly get projects off the ground.

Coolera is run by Paul Gundersen. The business is a natural extension of Paul’s 35-year career in performance management and analytics. Most of his professional life has been spent working with senior leadership to assemble the numbers and share the story with key stakeholders.
