Use Prodacapo to find out the profitability per market and how to act proactively to keep the most profitable markets, develop the
less profitable and change the unprofitable markets
We help you combine
a solution based on
your challenges, no
matter whether your
needs are reducing
costs, increasing
profitability, assuring
quality, greater
utilizing of resources,
measurable targets
or a combination of
these.
Our clients use our cost- and profitability analyzes
to improve the customer and product strategies,
become more efficient and to increase the profitability. Regardless of the type of questions you are facing,
a fact-based data approach is important for achieving
the right outcome. Change becomes easier if everyone
in the organization understands the rationale behind
the decisions made.
Prodacapo offers an activity based solution to
identify costing that is rooted in the organization,
thereby creating an understanding throughout the
organization. The solution allows your organization to
view cost in a way they have never seen them before.
When everyone understands the costing model and
how the activities within the organization affect the
costs and profitability you can start using the analysis result to improve your business. This means you
need to find out not only the accurate information
on costs, but also providing the insights into why the
costs vary.
The costs are traced
according to how customers
consume products and
services, which in turn are
driven by activities and the
resources utilized to conduct
the activities.
Graphical analyzes and full traceability
Our analyzes enable full traceability and information
that can be used to act proactively and improve the
financial performance.
A graphical presentation of the cost flow makes
it easy to follow and understand the cost flow. This
transparent picture of the cost flow and resource consumption leads to a greater understanding and insight
of the cost appearance and how you can influence
the outcome. The graphical overview presents the
costs and by clicking backwards and forward in the
cost flow you can explore the cost tracings in detail.
You can clearly see what activities causing the costs
and more easily find out where the cost flow can be
streamlined for a cost reduction - without impairing
other parts.

Customized analyzes
Uniquely, our costing model includes a process mapping tool enabling rapid modeling and visualization
of processes, activities, resources (staff, equipments,
etc.) and their related costs. A combination of activity
based costing, resource and process mapping is a great
support for the understanding of improvements and
streamlining of the organization as it provides you
with a comprehensive picture that bridges the gap
between finance and operations.
Our costing solutions come with a variety of analysis
views and standard reports. For customized analyzes,
such as in-depth multi-dimensional analyzes using
external analysis tools, you can use our predefined
fact tables that contain the data you need, e.g. all
product related data for a product analysis.
Our services
Add our planning and simulation tool to simulate
and plan future resource capacity, costs and profitability. Our planning solution is activity based to
establish the actual cause-and-effect relationships
between resource usage and the services you deliver,
a relationship often absent in traditional planning,
which is based on different people’s estimation of the
previous year’s values.
Our offering includes more than delivering a software
or reports. Prodacapo and our network of certified
partners provide a full range of consulting, training
and support services for your long-term success.
