Profitability Planning
Typically our clients experience an increase in profit of 2-5% of their sales revenue after implementing one of our profitability planning applications. For a company with a turnover of £500m, this equates to £10m to £25m increase in profit
Savings come from:
- Understanding how the trading terms between accounts affect profitability
- Understanding the effect product mix has on brand and account performance
- Identifying products which are too costly to manufacture
- Identifying overly complex product portfolios and areas where products overlap
- Identifying the most effective promotion mechanics
- Identify potential issues with product sales
- Reorganising account management structures
- Optimising the supply chain for each account
Cosmic Solutions provide a wide range of profitability planning applications that provide clients with valuable insights into how their business is performing. The applications can be setup in many different ways enabling account, channel, product, brand profitability to be analysed. Our approach is very different to other software vendors in that we work closely with the client, especially the end users, to determine the structure of the profit and loss model to be used across the business. Our level of expertise ensures that clients invest wisely in our applications and implement a tailor made solution that has immediate impact.
