EPM Business Case: Profits

Where are your profits coming (or not coming) from?

Your bottom line is on track with your targets. Great! But there are still areas that can be improved on. Not all customers are created equal. You need to examine them, not only as a whole, but also as individuals, working with them to help drive better business.

EliteSeries EPM distribution business metrics enable you to quickly and easily examine which customer groups are contributing (or not!) to your overall performance. It's glaringly evident that customers identified as "Supplies" are being vastly out-performed by your other segments.

Time to get to the source of the problem. Drilling down – right down to an individual customer – you discover that, from month to month, Robert's Retail Shops is trending downward in contributing to your margins.

From here, its a simple step to ultimately find out which products Robert's Retail Shops has been ordering, how much, and when.

You notice that they appear to be ordering your low margin products in volume, but staying away from your higher margin products. It's time to make a call to Robert's Retail Shops...

Could your best dollar volume customer possibly not be your most profitable one? Are you spending the right amount of time to ensure you don't lose the more profitable ones? Only through access to timely information can your enterprise react when and where it needs to.
