• 
• Profit Improvement Manufacturers
• Manufacturers know they have unprofitable product lines, SKUs, channels and customers, but they can’t easily identify which ones are sabotaging their profits.

• 
• Profit Improvement For Retail
• Gut feelings and gross margins aren’t the best indicators of unprofitable vendors, SKUs, stores and customer segments. Increasingly, retailers are looking for solutions that deliver the level of detail needed to pinpoint the problems and provide answers to how to improve net profits, and ultimately, earnings per share.

• 
• Profit Improvement for Distributors
• Distributors must operate a tight business. Maintaining low operating margins leaves very little room for financial error. Because distribution is such a complex business, managing profit and loss presents some particular challenges. To truly understand their profitability, distributors need a sophisticated system that accounts for the numerous indirect business costs.

• 
• Performance Solutions For Financial Services
• Acorn Systems' Performance Solutions for Financial Services are unlike any others available today in terms of capability, flexibility, accuracy, and scalability.

• 
• Cost & Profitability Management for Financial Services
• It is in the very nature of a Financial Services organization to manage their costs & profits during the growth of the company. Some organizations are centralizing their support services, like IT, and want to accurately manage costs & chargeback to multiple cost centers.

• 
• Cost to Serve
• As customer demands increase, companies are using cost-to-serve analysis to improve their supply chain response. Cost-to-serve analysis calculates the profitability of products, customers and routes to market. It gives a fact-based focus for decision making - on service mix and operational changes - for each customer.

• 
• Understand & Manage the Value of IT
• In many large organizations, annual IT spending has escalated into millions of dollars - billions for the largest organizations. With such a large portion of budget allocation, CFOs and CIOs want to ensure that IT organizations are managed in the most cost-effective manner. So, companies are changing their strategy - running IT as a business within a business. Now, IT organizations must put IT services in terms that are bought and consumed - in other words, they must create IT value.

• 
• Enterprise Performance Suite
• Successful businesses grow their profits, year after year. To remain ahead, business leaders need better tools for modeling, measuring, and monitoring profitability. Tools with state-ofthe- art analytics that give timely, accurate visibility into multiple dimensions of business performance can be the key to increasing profitability and surpassing the competition.

• 
• Price Check
• More and more, companies are finding that they are generating revenue while racking up losses. Why is this happening? Often the answer goes back to pricing – a lack of pricing compliance. Prices are set based on many complex factors, but if the established pricing guidelines aren’t followed, profit margins can quickly turn into unprofitable sales.

• 
• Acorn Supply Chain Analyzer
• The ever increasing complexity and variability in today’s supply chains makes it imperative to understand the cost impact of product flow path alternatives. The supply chain cost leaders like Wal-Mart and Sysco Foods do. In fact, it gives them a price to consumer and net margin advantage over those who don’t.

•
