Strong business performance is based on an enlightened and connected understanding of key value drivers

Connected Planning where Cash is King

CEOs and CFOs understand that cash is king in driving business value. Accordingly, executives are expected to manage cash flow to simultaneously sustain the business and optimize its performance. Yet, today’s planning tools do not provide executives with predictive insights of how each business decision impacts operating, investing and financing cash flow in a connected, closed-loop fashion…until CEOview.

CEOview is a scalable, secure and simple-to-use CPM/Connected Planning toolset to plan and manage your business for optimum value across the three types of business cash flow—Operating, Investing and Financing. For the first time, you can make data-modeled decisions at the granular level (e.g., by customer, product, employee, inventory SKU, etc.) and illuminate how they impact cash flow across the enterprise.

In addition, CEOview provides unparalleled macro-to-micro insights into value drivers for both business Performance and Sustainability, including the sufficiency of capital funding, PP&E investment and workforce headcount, to meet your business plans.

Sustainability

Command of sustainability, or resource sufficiency, is foundational to any business. While all businesses are different, the three main aspects of sustainability—workforce, equipment and capital—are common and can be modeled effectively. With CEOview, you can now:

  • Easily analyze and scenario model at the unit level (customer, product, inventory, equipment, etc.) how growth or downsizing impacts the sufficiency of workforce, equipment and capitalization (debt and equity) to meet your business plan.

  • Know with certainty when you need to hire employees and when you need to invest in fixed assets, or make tradeoffs between the two. You can understand sales personnel productivity and cost of customer acquisition.

  • Have command of how all other operating and investing decisions across your business impact the need for financing, and which type of financing—debt or equity—is best suited to drive optimum value.

 

Performance

CEOview provides unparalleled macro-to-micro insights into business performance. Imagine being able to analyze your business in an integrated, macro manner with unit-level drivers, such as specific customers, products, employees, inventory items, vendors and fixed assets. Use case examples include:

  • Fully understand how a price increase for one or many customers impacts your business in all respects.

  • Predict the working capital implications based on bringing on new customers of extending the receivable terms of an existing customer.

  • Gain visibility to customer and product line profitability at a macro and a by-customer, by-product basis with CEOview’s unit-level architecture.

In addition to all the revenue growth and margin insights and analysis, CEOview provides unit-level insights into asset efficiency and utilization for working capital, such as accounts receivable by customer, inventory by SKU, accounts payable by vendor, and PP&E by asset. CEOview also includes an equity capitalization master table.
