SAP has announced the availability of the SAP Net Margin Analysis analytic application, which captures cost-to-serve metrics to provide organisations with a complete financial view of their business-to-business (B2B) services.
According to SAP, Net Margin Analysis provides visibility within the entire B2B ecosystem of a business, with businesses able to easily determine who are their most and least profitable customers are, what costs are unaccounted for and where such costs are occurring.
Karen Lynch, vice president, SAP Global Warehouse Distribution, said SAP Net Margin Analysis offers businesses accuracy that was previously unavailable. “Previous offerings could only provide a ballpark figure on such costs. Users can now drill down in to that data and isolate it precisely to see what their profit and cost generators are,” she said.
SAP Net Margin Analysis is available as a rapid deployment solution, achievable through pre-configured content, best practices and pre-defined services to allow quick deployment and subsequent immediate cost savings.
“Detailed metrics that took months to produce can now be viewed and acted upon immediately,” Lynch said.
