Segmented P&L
Segmented reporting involves breaking down a company into its tax relevant segments and allocating its financial information to each segment. These segments are influenced by management decisions, external reporting rules, internal reporting standards and different tax jurisdictions
Push Workbench
The Workbench Module calculates the transfer prices automatically on product level. For each defined segment it calculates new transfer prices based on the legal requirements such as target net margins, custom rules (external rules), customized parameters or thresholds (internal rules). Same as with the P&L Segmentation, the Workbench comes along with comprehensive forecasting support. The forecasts can be either automatically generated by the module (based on best practice controlling methods) or manually entered by the end users

Fully automated calculation of TP’s and real-time impact simulation on product level

The Pull Negotiation module offers flexibility in cases where the automated transfer price calculation is either not possible, not permitted or not wanted. Typical examples are the price determination for new products, new trade relations, special transportation modes, slow movers, dead stocks, key raw materials, etc.
Highlights

Proof of Concept
Visibility
Real-time visibility is important in making timely informed decisions. When information can be accessed instantly, without wasting resources on permanent data extraction, validation and processing, the project team is better informed and can make more accurate and faster decisions.
Hands-on
A proof of concept is more elaborate than a standard software demo or sales presentation because it familiarizes the client with the complete range of the solution’s capabilities and provides hands-on experience to managers, IT personnel, and users. The proof of concept will support the project team with its ability to perform real-time validations, analytics and simulations.
Quality
Evaluate the quality and reliability of Optravis services and experience.
In addition to using the TP Management Tool in the project environment, the proof of concept enables the client to experience the Optravis services.
Business case
Justify the software solution to upper management
As company budgets tighten, it has become more difficult to justify enterprise software purchases and get upper management to sign off on them. A proof of concept gives Optravis the opportunity to demonstrate the product’s benefits including its return on investment (ROI) to upper management.
