SAP has announced the availability of the SAP Net Margin Analysis analytic application to bring enterprises the most complete financial view of their business-to-business (B2B) operations.
The application uses advanced analytics to capture cost-to-serve metrics the indirect costs hidden in supply chains that service and support customers. Data captured by SAP Net Margin Analysis is readily accessible, helping businesses reduce costs at a granular level and perform better.
The new application addresses the increasing complexity businesses have in servicing their customers effectively and efficiently. As the number of channels, services and stakeholders has grown exponentially, it has become much more difficult for organizations to get an accurate financial picture of an entire B2B ecosystem.
Who are my most profitable customers? Who are my most significant loss makers? Are there costs I cant account for? If so, where are they occurring? SAP Net Margin Analysis enables users to answer these questions and more by providing full visibility into all costs. The application goes below the surface to uncover expenses and lines of profit that were not visible before. SAP estimates that enterprises can save up to five percent on indirect costs in the first year after implementation.
SAP Net Margin Analysis provides actionable data on costs that up to this point were below the radar of many enterprises, said Karen Lynch, vice president, Global Wholesale Distribution, SAP. Previous offerings could only provide a ballpark figure on such costs. Users can now drill down into that data and isolate it precisely to see who their profit and cost generators are. Detailed metrics that took months to produce can now be viewed and acted upon immediately.
