Manufacturing companies are challenged with improving product and customer profitability. the client, a multi-billion dollar, a global manufacturer of labelling products, faced the following challenges in determining and improving the profitability of their products and key customer relationships. They had to determine how to:
Learn how client used Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) and KPI Partners to overcome these challenges and improve product and customer profitability. This solution also is business user-friendly and allows business users to change allocations and key profitability drivers as business conditions change.
The client evaluated several allocation applications and selected Oracle Hyperion PCMCS because it was user-friendly, cloud-based, and could be managed by the business.
The client selected KPI Partners instead of a Big 5 consulting firm because of KPI's deep expertise in PCMCS, a combination of financial and technical knowledge and lower cost, and a shorter implementation timeline.
KPI Partners analyzed the current allocation process and built a new allocation engine using Hyperion PCMCS best practices with data sourced primarily from Oracle EBS. Hyperion PCMCS is integrated as part of the monthly close process and largely automated. The allocation model allocates both fixed and variable costs at the customer and product level. The project was delivered on time and under budget
