Bottom line
Pigment is a business planning platform with named headcount planning and workforce planning, including org charts and scenarios. There is no public price. A 14 day platform trial does not include self serve purchasing.
Stands out for: Headcount planning is a named use case with org charts, hiring workflows, and connections to finance data. Pigment publishes both an API and an MCP server for Pigment AI.
Watch out for: Workday, Greenhouse, HiBob, and Lever are marked on the roadmap, not as live connectors. Live names on the integrations page are NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and SAP. The product is also used for finance and supply chain planning.
Overview
Pigment sells a planning platform used by finance, supply chain, sales and HR. Headcount planning and workforce planning are named use cases. The headcount page includes workflows, automated headcount planning from HR, recruiting and finance systems, and org charts that model a hierarchy inside Pigment.
The HR use case page also names scenario planning, capacity planning, merit and promotion planning, and skills based planning. There is no public price. A 14 day trial needs no credit card, after which the workspace becomes read only, and Pigment does not offer self serve purchasing.
