Industry - Manufacturing and Distribution
A top North American snack food private label supplier that uses advanced technology with innovative packaging solutions.
Business Issue
To maintain their status as an industry leader and to continue their growth trajectory, the Client desired to impact their bottom line by finding ways to improve their profitability. To do so, they realized they needed to look beyond traditional financial reporting if they were to truly realize the profitability of their customers and products and uncover those improvement opportunities.
Vizion's Solution for Client Sucess
The Vizion360® Customer/Product Profitability App uses data obtained from sales and finance departments to provide access to precise profitability statistics. To do so, we worked with the client to develop and refine customer and product profitability calculations by understanding and allocating fixed, variable and semi-variable profitability factors.
More accurate profitability calculations enable a better understanding of the true costs of processes, a better understanding of overhead and an ability to improve product mix management and make better informed pricing decisions.
