Savings,
Tracked To
The P&L.

A saving is easy to announce and hard to prove. This platform gives every savings idea in the sourcing group one record, with an owner, a stage and a value, and follows it until finance has validated its effect on the P&L.

It serves several brands inside one company, in one system.

• One record per initiative, from first idea to validated impact
• A finance check before a saving counts
• Fiscal year, carryover and currency rules held in the system, not in a spreadsheet
• Exports for finance

People sign in with their existing company accounts through the company's own identity system. What each person can see and change is decided by role, and those rules are enforced on the server, so hiding a button is never the only protection.

The client's own team adds users and changes roles from an administration screen, without asking us.

• Single sign-on through the company's identity system
• Roles enforced on the server
• User administration run by the client's team

It began as one fixed-fee project with a written scope. The client has extended it three times since, each time as a short written change with its own fixed fee.

Each release has taken four to six weeks. The client's finance team tested the financial rules before they went live, and releases are followed by a support period.

• A fixed fee for every piece of work
• Releases every four to six weeks
• A weekly status meeting with the client's team
• A support period after a release

The platform runs in the client's own environment. Their team owns the code and can run it, change it or hand it to anyone they choose. There is no license fee and nothing that stops working if we leave.
