Standard Edition for Sales and Distribution oriented companies

         Background

Usually managers rely upon financial reports which are prepared in spreadsheets or from a collection of disparate reporting systems. While these reports may be accurate, they may not be able to provide management with the rich forecasting and profitability analysis that is required or expected and available in a satisfactory shortest duration time period.

Organisations today desire tight control over daily performance measured against corporate strategies to ensure objectives are met. With so much data available in corporate systems today, most reporting continues to be focused on past events which cannot be changed. Essatto is designed to assist companies to address such issues.

      The Standard Edition 

Essatto integrates with existing information systems, utilizing the large volumes of data available as a starting point to project multiple forecasted scenarios and then tracks performance against chosen targets.

Questions we need quick answers like:

• What is the impact on profit if there is a 50% decrease in volume from overseas customers? Or our top 10 customers?

• What is the true cost of selling each of our products? Which products, product groups or customers support the majority of our business?

• What is the impact on future cash flows by switching customer payment terms?

This predictive analysis empowers management to use "what-if" scenarios  to pick winning strategic initiatives from a range of possible alternatives.

At the same time, critical reporting generated includes:

• Actual performance across multiple forecasts

• Projected and historical product and customer profitability variance analysis

• Cconsolidated historical and forecasted financial statements including Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Key Performance Indicators

• Sales analysis and re-forecasting
