Stop Chasing Numbers.

Start Investing with Confidence.​

It's incredibly challenging to accurately forecast costs and justify significant investments when rework, engineering changes, and warranty claims consistently eat into profit margins. We help finance leaders gain greater financial predictability and demonstrable ROI from product development processes — enabling confident investment in future growth and long-term profitability.​

What Falls On Your Desk

The financial governance responsibilities where better operational data makes the biggest impact

Financial Planning & Analysis

Managing financial planning and analysis, overseeing budgeting and forecasting, ensuring financial reporting accuracy, and managing cash flow and capital allocation

Investment Evaluation & CAPEX

Evaluating capital expenditure requests including IT and PLM investments, calculating ROI for initiatives, and assessing financial risks and opportunities across the business

Cost Tracking & Variance Analysis

Tracking project costs and profitability, conducting variance analysis, preparing financial statements, and managing accounts payable and receivable

Cost of Quality & Waste Impact

Identifying and quantifying the financial impact of rework, scrap, engineering changes, and warranty claims that erode margins across the product lifecycle

Pains Holding You Back 

The friction finance leaders face when operational costs are unpredictable and ROI is hard to prove

Unpredictable Costs from Constant Changes
Unpredictable costs stemming from rework, engineering changes, and quality issues that consistently impact profitability. These operational inefficiencies create constantly fluctuating numbers that undermine financial planning.
⚠️ Profit margins eroded by hidden operational costs
Difficult ROI 
Justification
Challenges in justifying the ROI for strategic digital investments like PLM. Without clear baseline data and measurable outcomes, it's difficult to build compelling business cases or secure internal approval for investments.

⚠️ Investment decisions delayed by lack of clear evidence
Inaccurate Cost 
Forecasting
Difficulty accurately forecasting product costs and overall financial performance when operational data is fragmented across disconnected systems. Manual processes and duplicate data entry obscure the true cost picture.​

⚠️ Strategic planning based on unreliable cost data​

Gains You Could Achieve 

Transform financial visibility challenges into a competitive advantage for smarter investment

Greater cost predictability
Improved Cost Control & Predictability​
Gain clear visibility into product costs throughout the lifecycle — tracking rework, engineering changes, and quality issues that impact profitability. Move from reactive to predictable planning.​
  • Predictable product cost tracking
  • Visible cost drivers
  • More accurate financial forecasting
Confident Investment Decisions
Data-Driven ROI Justification
Build investment cases on real operational data — quantifying the costs of current inefficiencies and demonstrating concrete savings from similar implementations. Track post-implementation returns against measurable outcomes.
  • Evidence-based business cases
  • Concrete cost saving examples
  • Post-implementation ROI tracking
Stronger Bottom Line
Reduced Warranty & After-Sales Costs 
Reduce the financial impact of warranty claims, quality failures, and after-sales service costs through better product data integrity and traceability across the lifecycle. 
  • Lower warranty claim costs
  • Reduced after-sales service expenses
  • Better product data integrity

Connected Cost Data. Confident Decisions.​

We help finance leaders connect operational data to financial outcomes — so you can see the true cost of rework, engineering changes, and quality issues. Build investment cases on real data and track post-implementation ROI with confidence.

Key Roadmap Steps

Questions finance leaders ask as they move from recognising the problem to choosing a solution

AWARENESS
Recognising the 
Problem​
What are you trying to solve and speak to different stakeholders about possible solutions.​
  • What are the hidden costs of our current product development and manufacturing processes?
  • How do rework and design errors impact our bottom line?
  • How can we get more accurate cost forecasting for new products?​
CONSIDERATION
 Evaluating Solutions 
& Partners​
Speak with different provider and get a clear understanding of the pros and cons. 
  • Can PLM help reduce costs associated with rework, scrap, and warranty claims?
  • What is the typical ROI of a PLM implementation for companies our size?
  • How does PLM help manage capital expenditure and operational costs?
DECISION
Confidence in 
Implementation 
Make sure you have a clear plan, deliverables and milestones for implementation. 
  • What is the detailed financial model and ROI projection for our specific implementation?
  • Can you provide concrete examples of cost savings and revenue gains from similar companies?
  • What financial support and payment options are available?

Our Approach to Help You Get There 

A structured approach that gives finance leaders the data they need for confident decisions

STEP 1
Baseline & Quantify
 We establish baseline metrics for rework costs, engineering change overhead, warranty claims, and operational inefficiencies — quantifying the true cost of current processes.

STEP 2
Connect & Configure
We connect operational data to financial reporting — so cost drivers from rework, quality issues, and engineering changes are visible, tracked, and tied to specific outcomes.

 STEP 3
Report & Govern​
We set up dashboards and reports that give finance leaders real-time visibility into operational costs, project profitability, and ROI tracking for digital investments.

 STEP 4
Track & Improve
Continuous ROI tracking and cost optimisation — with regular reviews that demonstrate the financial impact of operational improvements and justify further investment.

FAQs

Questions finance leaders ask when cost predictability and investment confidence become a priority

How does PLM help finance teams?

PLM connects product and operational data to financial outcomes — giving finance leaders visibility into cost drivers like rework, engineering changes, and quality issues that impact profitability throughout the product lifecycle.

Can you help justify digital transformation investment?

Yes. We help build ROI cases based on real operational data — quantifying the costs of rework, scrap, warranty claims, and manual processes that transformation addresses, providing concrete examples of cost savings from similar companies.

How do you track ROI after implementation?

We establish baseline metrics before implementation and track improvements in cost of quality, rework rates, change management efficiency, and operational costs — giving finance leaders clear evidence of return on investment.

What hidden costs does connected data expose?

Common hidden costs include design rework, engineering change overhead, quality failure costs, warranty claims, and the operational cost of managing disparate systems with manual data entry and redundant activities.
