Product Revenue Analysis helps Guide Pricing, Investment Decisions

Financial executives reported to arcplan in a January 2008 survey that better information about product revenue is their #1 priority. Product information is among the most in-demand from line managers in product management, purchasing, production, R&D, etc.  arcplan offers numerous product-related reports, including:

  • Product Profitability, including Product Portfolio Profitability
  • Revenue/ Sales by Product
  • Top Revenue-producing products
  • Trailing Product Sales
  • Net Margin Contribution by Product

This sample report illustrates the drivers to product revenue, its contribution and root causes of any shortfalls.  Product revenue can be illustrated as a waterfall chart, period chart, regional chart, etc.

Seeing the relative contribution each product makes to profitability helps executives and managers quickly see whether or not budgets are being met.   Multiple views of data help illustrate the data effectively and efficiently.
