Cost allocation models, margin analysis, and profitability reporting built in Workday Adaptive Planning and EPM, designed so finance can see where the business actually makes money.
We document your cost structure, allocation methods, and where current profitability reporting breaks down.
Cost allocation logic, margin drivers, and profitability dimensions designed in Workday Adaptive Planning before any build.
Model built, connected to your actuals, reconciled, and handed over with full documentation.
Profitability analysis in EPM requires two things that are often difficult to get right simultaneously: a cost allocation model that accurately reflects how costs attach to products, customers, or segments, and a reporting layer that presents margin data in a way leadership can act on. Most organisations have one or the other but not both.
We build profitability models in Workday Adaptive Planning where allocation logic is transparent, driver-based, and connected to live actuals. The goal is a model where the finance team can explain every cost allocation, not a black-box model where the numbers are accepted without understanding.
Profitability reporting built on a well-designed allocation model gives leadership a genuine view of where the business makes money: by product, by customer, by geography, by business unit. This is the reporting that drives real business decisions, and it is only credible when the underlying model is right.
Where AI fits into profitability analysis specifically: flagging margin or allocation outliers that warrant a closer look before they reach a leadership report, using native anomaly detection where the platform provides it, with custom driver-level checks built only where a specific allocation needs them.
