Driving performance requires more than static results. It demands a system that explains what drives cost and profitability and how to influence outcomes. ImpactECS provides a flexible foundation for cost and profitability intelligence, bringing together data, process modeling, and scenario analysis so teams can turn complex cost structures into clear, actionable insight and make confident decisions across the enterprise.
ImpactECS helps you model real-world cost drivers, connect data across the enterprise, and optimize decisions that improve profitability.
ImpactECS Features
Model
Model how your business actually works. ImpactECS provides a flexible environment to calculate costs, test assumptions, and understand profitability across products, customers, and operations.
- Dynamic Costing
ImpactECS is the flexible foundation for cost and profitability modeling. Unlike static spreadsheets or rigid ERP systems, it allows finance teams to calculate costs with accuracy, refresh answers on demand, and analyze results across products, customers, and locations. - Support multiple costing methods
Work with standard, actual, activity-based, time-driven, and custom approaches in a single platform. - Run profitability scenarios
Change any input values such as price, volume, or mix and immediately see the impact on margins, EBITDA, and profitability. - Forecast and plan with accuracy
Generate budgets and rolling forecasts that adapt quickly to shifting market conditions and operational realities. - Leverage AI for productivity
Use the ImpactECS Assistant to automate tasks like writing and optimizing scripts and queries, documenting models, importing data, and streamlining development. - Drill across levels of detail
Move seamlessly from granular cost information such as unit or process-level costs to high-level profitability views across customers, product lines, or the enterprise.
Connect
Bring financial and operational information together in one profitability model. By linking to the systems already in use, data flows in for modeling and flows out to reporting and analysis tools, giving every stakeholder access to the same profitability story.
- Integrate data in and out
Exchange information with the systems already in place, moving data into the model for analysis and distributing results back out for reporting and decision-making. - Consolidate scattered data
Unify financial, operational, and transactional inputs that live across multiple systems into one central model to create a trusted source for clarity and control. - Maintain transparency
Provide visibility into costing rules, assumptions, and allocations with accuracy that is audit-ready and easy to trace. - Align every stakeholder
Give finance, operations, and commercial teams shared access to the same cost and profitability data to ensure decisions are made on a consistent foundation.
Optimize
Turn cost and profitability information into actionable insight. With a centralized model and advanced analysis tools, organizations can evaluate trade-offs, test strategies, and make confident decisions that improve margins and strengthen long-term performance.
- Standardize costing logic
Apply consistent rules and calculations across products, plants, and regions to create a reliable foundation for cost and profitability analysis. - Control versions and assumptions
Manage multiple standards, scenarios, and forecasts while maintaining full history, governance, and transparency. - Analyze results by dimension
Drill into profitability by customer, product, channel, plant, or any business segment to identify where value is created or lost. - Accelerate insight with AI
Use the ImpactECS Assistant to speed up model development, analyze data quickly, uncover patterns, and guide smarter financial and operational decisions. - Communicate profitability clearly
Translate complex results into waterfalls, profit curves, and reports that make cost and margin drivers easy to understand across the organization.
ImpactECS is not a template. It is a platform.
Built to adapt to how your business works, ImpactECS connects cost data, calculations, and insight in one environment. The result is clarity teams can rely on and decisions they can stand behind.
