Most are able to tell which products or vendors are contributing to GM, but very few are able to understand how GM has changed for a product or vendor over time, nor are they able to compare what drives GM across multiple products or vendors. Lacking this visibility limits forecasting capability and limits effective negotiations when meeting with vendors. The ability to understand which components are impacting GM in a positive and negative way can be crucial to the success of a business. In one client, prior to implementation, to produce a report for one product group and vendor, an accountant would spend two weeks pulling the data and tracing excel formulas to produce a single analysis. Some organizations have thousands of product categories and thousands of vendors making production of such reports on all categories impossible. The Solution provides an environment that allows for analysis of the key drivers of margin for every combination of product and vendor at every level of the product hierarchy. This enables organizations to: 1. 2. 3. 4. Understand the impact of key drivers on the change in gross margin over time Provide buyers with up to date information on vendors for negotiations Identify key profit indicators to assist with decisions making Significantly reduce cost of producing reports IBM Contacts: Jim Sherwin, [email protected], 847-269-6765 Partner Contacts: John Vaughan, [email protected], +61 418 634 652 Hyperlinks: Global Solutions Directory: Infocube TOP: Return to Table of Contents 33 ARC (Accelerated Reporting & Consolidation) by InfoHub Industry: Business Function: Cognos Products: Geography: Target Customers: Cross Industry Performance Management Controller Singapore Cross Industry Solution Description InfoHub, an IBM partner, was awarded "2010 Top Performer Software Group – Information Management Valued Partner" and "2010 Top Performer Software Group - Mid Market" from IBM.
