OUTCOMES

One of the first areas of the business to look at for financial performance and competitive advantage is revenue growth. There are a variety of ways Connected Planning can improve revenue growth, including:

• Better focus on sales productivity through more relevant, expedient sales forecasting

•  Better sales velocity by focusing efforts on the best-selling products, bundles, and channels

• Maximized revenue by modeling product, bundle, and channel price mixes

Especially in a down economy, with the automatic reaction to cut costs, Connected Planning can help ensure you cut the ‘‘right’’ costs and that the removal of those costs doesn’t adversely impact profitable revenue or future market share. Connected Planning can impact this area in many ways, for example:

•  Understanding customer and product profitability allows companies to focus on marketing and selling the products that give the best return

• Quickly modeling NewCo scenarios in a pending acquisition and basing those models on historical data and actual constraints (by product, by geo, by customer segment, etc.) can give a more accurate picture of available synergies to set the expectations of the street

Accelerating your cash cycle gives you more confidence in working capital, better opportunities for investments, and improves overall efficiencies. Connected Planning efforts can include:

Gathering and sharing information on Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), Days Payable Outstanding (DPO), and Days in Inventory (DII) — delivered to the right people in the organization (and tied to employee rewards) — can have a positive impact on cash cycle Cash-Flow forecasting and Working Capital analysis can help improve the cost of capital, debt ratios, and can reduce risk.

Ensuring that assets such as plants, production lines, or equipment, are being employed in profitable activities is the way of an efficient organization. A couple of ways that Connected Planning can impact your return on assets include:

•  Modeling capacity to ensure you have the right equipment availability, manpower, and output or yield

• Scheduled versus unscheduled repair analysis to show how effective your preventative maintenance programs are
