A business must be able to accurately measure, allocate, and manage costs and revenue to maximize profitability. Black Diamond’s Profitability and Cost Management solution will manage the cost and revenue allocations that are necessary to compute profitability for a business segment, such as a product, customer, region, or branch. Profitability and Cost Management enables you to use cost decomposition, consumption-based costing, and scenario-playing to measure profitability for effective planning and decision support.
