You need to identify channel costs hidden in support and shared-service
functions, and understand clearly what you need to do next.
With channel profitability solutions, you can make decisions that quickly drive profitability -
from developing differential pricing and assessing the benefits of
promoting self-service channels, to identifying where to target essential
improvements.
Features
- Predefined revenue dimension
Manage and classify different types of revenue quickly and easily.
- User-defined rules
Model areas like customer lifetime value and net present values – essential if you want to determine allowable customer acquisition costs and undertake "What if?" analysis to model future profitability.
- Multi-dimensional analysis
Allocate costs to multiple cost objects and get a single, multi-dimensional report that shows the cost of supplying the same product to different customers or the cost of supplying the same customer through different channels.
- True insight
Visible, actionable data allows you to see true channel profitability and make decisions on improvements based on facts - not hunches.
- Ease of maintenance
Maintain your solution models easily. For example, if you add a new product to your model, the solution automatically inherits activity assignments and cost drivers defined for its group.
