When Processing Costs Change, What's the Effect on
Your Customer and Product Margins?
pVelocity Profitability & Cost Simulation Software
To achieve optimum profitability, your pricing model must reflect your true cost to serve. In a volatile economic climate, frequent fluctuations in variable costs like raw materials, energy or packaging can have a dramatic effect on your margin mix. But it's too late to start calculating their impact at the point of change. Excellent performance depends on fast, smart, informed reactions and decisions.
By analyzing customer and product profitability in advance, you'll know what needs to happen to pricing as soon as your processing costs change, By viewing the information from the perspective of your role in the organization, you'll have the insight you need to target your actions.

Why BI Systems and Spreadsheets Don't Support
Effective Simulations
Business Intelligence applications monitor past performance, and lack the reporting capabilities to model scenario changes. Often requiring IT involvement, these operationally focused tools and technologies are not flexible enough to make informed, competitive business decisions in response to volatile economic conditions.
As a result, many business managers have developed their own solutions. The most commonly used tool is the spreadsheet. Applied in many different ways from one department to another, these documents quickly become unmanageable and out of date, often contain significant errors and don't encourage effective information sharing and collaboration.
