Benefits

See how cost accumulates

SAS Activity-Based Management reveals cost accumulation in a way that employees, not just finance experts, can understand and act on.

Manage shared service cost allocations

Get a more accurate reflection of true cost and profit by managing how shared service costs get allocated to products, customers, channels and services. Create more accurate budgets and workforce plans.

Improve processes by identifying activities that don’t add value

Identify cost bottlenecks, rework and non-value-added activity. Model and simulate how changes in "driver" volumes affect costs, profit and value.

Learn how and why unexpected events impact budgets

Unanticipated events affect not only your budget, but also your resource plans and response time. Accurately, quantify the impact on cost and profit in detail – ahead of traditional financial reports.
