Finance excellence in LEA
Budget, spend and KPIs on the same data as the launch plan.
KPIs
Empower your organisation with the right focus. The module includes pre-defined project KPIs but allows custom KPI creation.
Drill down
Dashboards and reports let users interact and drill down from a global overview to a detailed activity level.
Integration
Integration with ERP systems links project plans to finance.
Customisation
Reports and dashboards are customisable to specific requirements. New reports can always be added.
Spend tracking
Procurement data is assigned to activities, automatically or manually, so costs and progress are monitored together.
Variance
The spend tracker gives a complete overview of products and areas, so you can find issues and drill into the detail.
Security
Access to budget and spend information is restricted at product and area level, keeping it confidential.
What it changes
Fewer surprises in launch spend.
Enhance your financial management
Streamline launch funding and spend across all products and areas in one platform. Finance teams, affiliates and product managers track budgets, prevent overspending and keep activities on time.
Optimise future launches with historical funding
Historical funding data is easy to access and analyse, giving decision-makers insight to optimise future product launches and overall financial performance.
Budget management across projects
Data-driven decisions: analytics turn raw data into insight, so you can spot trends, forecast outcomes and act before problems grow.
Modelling and reporting
Price, margin and scenarios before the money is spent.
Pricing and forecast modelling
Interactive margin modelling from day one of a launch gives a transparent view of gross and net margins, including client-specific cost components such as logistics, tariffs, discounts and volumes. What-if sliders test alternative pricing or cost scenarios instantly.
Model a 5% price increase against a discount and compare both side by side in waterfall charts. Validate launch pricing, model channel differences and give finance and leadership scenario-tested insight, with drill-through from summary to line item.
Scenario-based pricing analysis
Simulate pricing strategies with what-if sliders for price, volume, discounts or cost structure; revenue, margin and contribution recalculate instantly.
Adjust price, demand, import costs or exchange rates together and compare strategies in waterfall charts or heat maps. Benchmark product KPIs, compare pricing across channels and geographies, assess elasticity and forecast income under alternative assumptions.
Contribution-margin optimisation
Contribution margin is calculated in real time, so profitability is comparable across the portfolio. High-margin products are highlighted for more marketing, production or inventory focus; low-margin SKUs are flagged for review.
When machine hours, labour or materials are constrained, LEA shows which products return most per unit of the bottleneck, for example contribution margin per machine hour.
Executive reporting
Executive-ready Power BI reporting gives leaders a snapshot of launch performance across financial and operational KPIs: revenue, margin, cash flow and launch progress, with status cards and red/green indicators.
Drill from summary into region, channel, product or cost centre. It answers the governance questions quickly: are targets on track, where are the early cost risks, which KPIs need attention?
Financial and sales simulation
Combine historical data, assumptions and what-if modelling to run upside, baseline and downside scenarios for demand, pricing and promotions, and see the effect on revenue, margin and cash flow.
On the sales side the model includes pipeline factors such as leads, conversion rates, deal size and seasonality, with sensitivity tests comparing forecast with simulated results.
