Portfolio Management
What Is It?
Building upon Chainalytics' Profitability Analytics, Portfolio Management services allow you to continuously monitor the profitability of your portfolio of customers, products, and suppliers and take appropriate actions. Our holistic approach can help you establish a repetitive, analytical process that aligns your business policies across sales and marketing, supply chain, and financial organizations and also feeds Sales and Operations Planning and Product Life Cycle Management processes. Through ongoing analysis, you will be able to create differentiated customer segmentation, develop specific service level and product lifecycle strategies, and tailor supply chain designs to suit individual segment needs - all leading to a portfolio that maximizes profit.
What Do We Do?
Instead of using intuition, "rules of thumb," or spreadsheets, businesses need continuous, intelligent, end-to-end analysis. At Chainalytics, our Portfolio Management service provides you with a framework, process, and application to continuously analyze profitability at the product, customer, and supplier level. Building upon profitability analysis, Portfolio Management services provide you with either an implemented environment within your company or Chainalytics services to continuously monitor the profitability of your customer, product and supplier portfolios. Portfolio Management services include process design and technology implementation, education and training, and facilitated cross-functional planning sessions designed to help you develop plans to improve the profitability of your portfolio.
Can Chainalytics help you more effectively manage your customer, product, and supplier portfolios? Are these questions that your firm is asking?
- How can we quickly and more accurately decide which customers to serve and products to sell using actual costs and profitability of our customers, products, and suppliers?
- What are the inter-relationships between my customer and product portfolios? Are profitable customers purchasing unprofitable products?
- In which products, channels, and customers are we generating our largest margins and should consider expanding business? From which existing markets, channels, or product lines, should we withdraw?
- How can we support customer or supplier pricing decisions with accurate and up-to-date cost-to-serve information?
- How can we proactively manage our product line focusing on profitability and customer buying patterns?
- How can we monitor trends and changes in our cost-to-serve and profitability?
- Where should I focus my financial resources to improve profitability?
