Strategic Cost Modeling
Build cost models that drive profitable behaviors - not just allocated expenses
Costs are the most controllable part of the profit equation...
...and every day people are making decisions that affect your profits.
Are you giving them the insights to make the right decisions?
Most organizations know their expenses — few understand their costs.
Armada helps Finance teams reveal what truly drives cost by tracing activities, resources, and expenses to the products, services, and customers that consume them. The result is a model that not only explains where money is spent, but where it creates or erodes value
Armada helps finance leaders move beyond traditional allocations to build dynamic, decision ready cost analytics that drive more profitable behaviors in your business.
Our approach to Strategic Cost Management leverages an analytics-based framework that brings transparency to the true economics of your organization — how costs are consumed, and how they influence the delivery of products and services.
By modeling expenses into distinct, traceable costs per unit of output, Armada helps identify efficiency gains and cost reductions that create immediate bottom-line impact. These cost analytics inform three key control points:
- Managing demand through more effective pricing or internal chargeback strategies that change consumption behavior
- Improving efficiency by optimizing processes and removing non-value added activities from operations
- Optimizing capacity by identifying the cost of unused capacity and eliminate excess capacity and redeploy resources to strategic growth areas
Our goal is to create one consistent source of credible cost information that engages the business with actionable cost analytics to drive more profitable business behaviors throughout the organization.
