BOARD provides a complete Visual Modelling environment
to create sophisticated models for the
allocation of costs and earnings, generating detailed views of company
profitability and optimising pricing, product inventory, bundling and commercial
policies.
Thanks to the multi-dimensional logic, costs and earnings
can be calculated to the lowest level of detail and automatically distributed by
aggregation to different objects, allowing immediate association of several
analysis perspectives (e.g. highlighting product earnings in relation to a
specific customer).
In this way, in addition to the traditional marginality by
customer and product, BOARD makes it possible to calculate profitability at
various levels of hierarchy and drill-up and drill-down to aggregate and
disaggregate data for each analytical or reporting dimension.
The multi-dimensional “what-if” and “goal seeking”
capabilities make it possible to test hypothetical scenarios to verify the
potential impact of future events or new business strategies, providing a
powerful tool for simulating and optimising corporate profitability.
In addition to offering multi-dimensional and simulation capabilities, BOARD stands out from
conventional cost controlling solutions for its ability to integrate margin
analyses with the processes of Budgeting, Planning and Forecasting, providing
control of the future economic performance of the entire organisation
