3C Software Introduces Artificial Intelligence Capabilities in ImpactECS to Accelerate Cost and Profitability Insights

ATLANTA, GA – [10/30/25] – 3C Software, a leader in cost and profitability analytics, announced the launch of new artificial intelligence capabilities in its enterprise platform, ImpactECS, giving finance, operations, and analytics teams faster and more intelligent ways to model, analyze, and understand business performance. 

The new AI tools bring automation, natural language interaction, and intelligent recommendations into the modeling environment, helping users move from data preparation to decision-making more efficiently than ever. 

“These new AI features are designed to make every ImpactECS user more capable,” said Matthew Smith, President and CEO of 3C Software. “Our customers already rely on ImpactECS to connect data and decision-making across their organizations. With AI, we’re giving them tools that not only speed up modeling and analysis but also increase confidence in the results. This is about making complex work simpler, faster, and smarter.” 

 

AI Built for the Enterprise 

Unlike standalone AI tools, the new features are built directly into ImpactECS and operate within the customer’s secure environment. Powered by Microsoft Azure OpenAI, the system combines generative AI technology with ImpactECS’s deep modeling and data management capabilities. 

The suite of AI-enabled features includes: 

  • Document Intelligence that extracts data from documents such as purchase orders, bills of materials, or labor sheets and loads it directly into model structures. 
  • Natural Language Querying through Power BI Q&A integration, allowing users to ask questions like “Show total cost by plant” and instantly view charts or summaries. 
  • The ImpactECS Assistant, an AI-driven helper trained on each customer’s model, that can write or optimize scripts, generate queries, and document logic. 
  • Automated Documentation and Validation, ensuring that models remain consistent, transparent, and auditable. 

“AI in ImpactECS is about augmenting human intelligence, not replacing it,” said Rama Krishna Vavilala, Chief Software Architect at 3C Software. “The technology understands each customer’s model and can generate code, documentation, and analysis within that secure framework. It gives our users the freedom to focus on insight and decision-making instead of manual tasks.” 

 

Secure, Scalable, and Responsible 

All AI functionality is delivered through a secure, private Azure environment. Data never leaves the customer’s network, and permissions can be configured by model, user, or data table. The result is enterprise-grade AI that enhances productivity while maintaining full control and compliance. 

“Security and governance have been priorities from the start,” Vavilala added. “We built AI capabilities that operate entirely within the customer’s ecosystem, ensuring transparency, traceability, and control over every interaction.” 

 

Accelerating the Future of Profitability Analytics 

With the introduction of artificial intelligence, 3C Software continues to advance its mission of helping organizations connect cost and profitability data to real business performance. 

“AI is the next step in the evolution of ImpactECS,” Smith said. “It reinforces our commitment to building technology that adapts to how people work, not the other way around. By embedding intelligence directly into the platform, we’re giving our customers the speed and insight they need to stay ahead.”
