GET THE ANSWERS YOU NEED

Easy-to-use what-if scenario capabilities allow you to change assumptions and immediately see the impact on your revenue, expenses, and cash flow. For example:

  • If suppliers raise the cost of key material, how much do we need to adjust our unit price to maintain the right level of margins?
  • Can we meet our production schedule if demand for our low cost product doubles?
  • Do we have the cash flow to launch a product, open a plant, or acquire equipment?
