Where is your starting point?
Many companies still work manually or rely on outdated tools like SharePoint, Excel, and e-mail for capital allocation processes. It's time to modernize and reap the benefits and improve decision-making, efficiency, and security!
Level 1: At this first level, you typically still rely on manual processes, printed documents, and email overload. Currently, requests are handled inconsistently, leading to slow approvals and a lack of corporate control. Many companies are stuck at this initial stage.
Level 2: Have you created a custom solution, often relying on Excel, emails, and tools like SharePoint? While these makeshift systems can handle workflow management, they often fall short in capex functionality and scatter data across multiple locations. Additionally, they tend to be dependent on a select few individuals for maintenance. It's worth noting that many of our clients come from this level.
Level 3: Maybe you've advanced to this stage, leveraging a generic SaaS solution for centralized data management. While it represents a substantial improvement, the absence of capex-specific features means the expected cash flow enhancement, compared to previous levels, is unlikely to surpass 0-5%.
Level 4: Tailored for the capex process exclusively, our end-to-end solution offers support throughout every phase, from ideation to post-project evaluations. In accordance with McKinsey and AT Kearny these custom-built tools have the potential to deliver a remarkable 20% boost in cash flow.
Level 5: Our Capex Strategy module empowers you to sidestep common pitfalls that drain resources and erode shareholder value. By aligning with your capital budgeting process, it ensures that day-to-day capex decisions remain in sync with your overarching strategy. When fully integrated, your company can potentially experience a remarkable 100% boost in cash flow. How do we know? We've witnessed it consistently, and our satisfied customers can attest to the results.
“Significant for winning corporations is that they understand that the ongoing process of consolidation continues unabated, even in growing markets. They plan years ahead for these developments, resulting in making fewer bad and more good capex decisions.”
