The Information Factory recently introduced LogiCAT, a purpose built end-to-end cost visibility and margin analytics platform designed to address key financial challenges facing operators.
The parcel and postal sectors work on fine margins, facing pressure from rising costs, customer buying power, regulatory demands, intense competition and for Posts – rapidly declining mail volumes. Many operators struggle to accurately calculate their true end-to-end costs. This leads to mispriced contracts, hidden losses and poor strategic decisions.
LogiCAT addresses these challenges. It’s built on proven Activity Based Costing (ABC) methodology and delivers full cost visibility down to shipment level and mapped to the general ledger.
With LogiCAT users can assess profitability by product, customer, sales channel, lane & more, enhance pricing effectiveness by setting tariffs and discount levels based on true costs and use accurate data to optimise their network, manage loss making customers and assess the viability of providing new services.
The Information Factory was founded in 2004 , works globally and has grown organically to include a team of 80 solutions architects, developers and program managers.
