Profitability Analysis
ABC traditionally helps organizations find their cost drivers and allocate indirect costs
to the organization's processes and activities. Today, some shortcomings of this
methodology have been overcome by the more integrative approach of profitability
analysis.
Profitability analysis focuses more on value than on cost. Profitability modeling moves
beyond the traditional ABC focus, enabling revenue to be allocated in addition to costs,
to define pricing, bundling, product assortment and channel strategies. Into this new
scenario, ABC does its traditional job on the cost side of the equation, but provides
modeling concepts and best practices to the revenue side as well.
Thanks to the revolutionary toolkit approach, BOARD provides a single integrated
environment to combine sales forecasts and sales transactions with the ABC cost
information, giving a complete picture of your organization's profitability.
Beyond customer and product profitability, BOARD's multi-dimensional OLAP environment
provides the unique ability to calculate profitability at the account level, drill up and
down through every level of the hierarchy, and aggregate up for any reporting or
analytical dimension, for improved accuracy and better decision-making.
