CoreProcess PIM in detail

Profit impact by product, by customer, by activity.

Transform the way you manage product and customer profitability with CoreProcess PIM.

CoreProcess PIM will help you uncover which products and customers are really driving your business.

Two key modules help you attack fundamental business issues head-on:

  • The PIM Explorer module allows you to tackle those “what if?” questions that have all too often been left in the “too hard” basket until now.
  • The PIM Analyser module gives you a flexible, intuitive presentation and analysis of results from any desktop, on demand.
The answers you need, when you need them.
CoreProcess PIM gives an end-to-end view of your supply chain.
“True profit” shows how direct costs erode margin differently, by SKU

CoreProcess PIM is a robust, maintainable supply chain decision support tool, designed for permanent deployment in your business. It delivers repeatable, detailed and accurate information about the true profit contribution of:

  • each of your customers;
  • each product they buy, broken down by supply chain activity.

CoreProcess PIM enables the financial management of every phase of your products’ movement through the supply chain, from factory to customer.

Developed to meet the challenges of the high volume/low margin, fast moving consumer goods industry, it is built on rigorous cost-to-serve analysis principles. CoreProcess PIM is ideally suited to all supply chains where packaged goods are warehoused, ordered, picked, transported, promoted and merchandised.

CoreProcess PIM reliably represents:

  • complex distribution networks, with multiple layers of warehousing and multiple transport legs;
  • highly automated DC activities, such as highbay operations, right through to highly manual activities such as repacking.

Costs of activities such as order taking, product advertising and in-store merchandising can be integrated into the results to provide a comprehensive and accurate view of direct costs.

CoreProcess PIM uses a sophistocated top-down and bottom-up calculation methodology, enabling results to be reconciled to your general leger. The result: highly detailed insights into customer behaviour and resulting supply chain activities, and the hard facts about which are supporting or eroding profitability.

CoreProcess PIM is fully configurable to your requirements. Our consultants match the solution to your network environment, not vice-versa. PIM is built on the industrial-strength MS SQL database management system and has virtually unlimited data-handling capacity.
