Cost Analyzer- Cost Analyzer is Acorn's performance management tool for shared services, the public sector, and non-/not-for-profit organizations.
- Cost Analyzer uses Acorn's unique three-way validation approach to ensure that costs and variances are accurate financially, operationally, and capacity-wise. Managers throughout the organization can create and access a wide variety of graphical and dimensional reports to manage budgets and staffing needs with the Acorn data.
- Cost Analyzer's focus on costs and key performance indicators (KPIs) often results in a simpler model with quick time-to-value. Cost Analyzer is ideal as a departmental or exploratory solution, with an easy step-up to the full Acorn Performance Analyzer® capabilities.
Economic Profit Analyzer- Economic Profit Analyzer allows users to:
-
• Define gross and net profit adjustments
• Customize the P&L statement
• Manage their direct costs and revenues from a single module
- Economic Profit Analyzer provides increased control over the costs and credits on P&L statements, including the capability to create customized net profit adjustments such as taxes, depreciation, capital charges, and amortization.
- Economic Profit Analyzer also includes built-in support for essential economic data, including NOPBT and NOPAT.
Price Analyzer- Price Analyzer delivers waterfall, price band, and stacked performance charts to make monitoring price concessions, segment qualifications and discounts easier.
- The same profit and capacity information that makes Acorn Performance Analyzer® so powerful also drives Price Analyzer, ensuring that organizations use financially and operationally validated data to drive essential pricing decisions.
- Acorn displays this data via the Acorn Business Portal, providing at-a-glance identification of outliers, with targeted drill-down reports that arm decision makers with the information necessary to take action.
- Price strategists have the option of running what-ifs, changing underlying assumptions to see the results, or re-segmenting customers and products on the fly to see how the cost to serve their categories changes.
Acorn Advanced Analytics for SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition- Acorn Advanced Analytics is the easy way to build customized OLAP cubes. Because it's from Acorn, it is knowledgeable about the built-in dimensions in the Acorn model, so it's simple for non-technical business users to build validation and profit cubes that are tailored to the unique structure of their models. Both the model and the cube accept an unlimited number of cost objects, cost drivers, and custom KPIs, so you can be assured that your OLAP cubes accurately represent the data hierarchies in your organization. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition required.

Acorn Universal Connector- Acorn is the leader in accurate profit data. And because accurate results require accurate source data, Acorn offers the Acorn Universal Connector. The Acorn Universal Connector interoperates with Acorn Performance Analyzer®, Price Analyzer, Economic Profit Analyzer, and Cost Analyzer to validate information from a diverse set of data sources and import it into the Acorn repository.
- The Acorn Universal Connector dynamically reads your model's structure to create a customized staging area, data request form and validators. This ensures that all required data is present and validated before it is loaded into the Acorn repository, eliminating the need for custom-built validation scripts that can be costly to create and maintain.
Acorn Price Check™- Stop Losing Money on Out-of-Compliance Orders
- Price Check works out-of-the-box with your sales order entry system to monitor all incoming orders,
and on an exception basis, route out-of-compliance orders to sales management and finance for their
review, action, or approval. This newly released pricing compliance application leverages role-based
workflow and Acorn’s deep expertise in delivering cost-to-serve pricing and order, product and
customer profitability analytics to identify orders that are out of compliance with established pricing
guidelines.

cost-to-serve information

finance for review
