Topline Model

Sibling of Base Model, Topline Model has more functionality on the top line. You can choose to model sales dynamics based on customer acquisitions and retention or via traditional sales volume and pricing per unit of sales. Online assembly allows variation in number of COGS and Overhead elements. As the Model is focused on topline evolution, balance sheet structure and drivers are presented in condensed format.

Manufacturing Model

Manufacturing Model is best suited for modelling production processes based on uptime, output rate and pricing assumptions. For each product group users can assign up to ten cost drivers. Depending on the profile of your business these can depend on production volume (per unit driver), uptime (per hour or per work shift driver) or remain fixed (adjustable for inflation). The Model can describe any production environment from continuous 24*7 operations to weekly single or multi- shift schedules. Any input and output category can be relabelled to make your Model appear fully tailored.
