� Our readily deployable solution facilitates data collection and performs currency conversion on

entities’ data. Differences, which arise out of currency conversion, are posted through Journals.

And, the solution allows users to create scenario baselines which can then be (what-if) analysed

for various scenarios by simulating the drivers’ values. The solution provides reports which show

the variance between the actuals and the plan/scenario data.

�Our solution also performs rolling forecast for P & L items and allows SKU level and top down

planning for various products. Apart from that, the solution performs cost allocation for various

expenses which becomes the target for the concerned entity/product.
