DOKKA vs Velixo: Close Workflows That Go Beyond Excel Reporting

Velixo is an Excel add-in that brings live ERP data into Excel for reporting, budgeting and journal writeback. DOKKA Close runs the close itself: tasks and owners in one workspace, AI agents preparing reconciliations and journals, and one central audit trail. Your Excel workpapers still work inside it.

Key differences

Three Differences That
Matter Most

01

A close platform vs. an Excel add-in

DOKKA Close
DOKKA Close gives you a workspace for the close, with tasks, owners, dependencies and live status, so you aren't managing the close from trackers and email.

Velixo
Velixo makes Excel a live front end to your ERP. The close process itself stays in the workbooks and routines your team builds.
02

Agents that prepare the work

DOKKA Close
DOKKA's agents prepare reconciliations, recurring journals, accruals and flux explanations from live ERP data for your team to review.

Velixo
Velixo gives your team live data and writeback in Excel, which is powerful for analysts who want to build and control every workbook themselves.
03

Central audit trail vs. workbook controls

DOKKA Close
Every match, entry and approval in DOKKA is logged in one place, and nothing posts until it's reviewed, which simplifies audit requests.

Velixo
With an Excel-first approach, controls and evidence depend on how your workbooks, versions and sign-offs are managed.
