Platform · Order economics

Know what every order earns before you promise it.

A large customer asks to pull in a third of next quarter's volume. Sales sees revenue. The plant sees overtime. Finance sees inventory and receivables rise. Nobody sees whether the order, served that way, creates or destroys value. VYAN traces it.

Economic lineage

From revenue to economic profit, order by order.

Illustrative concept: REVENUE What it brings Net price, volume and mix on each order line. ATTRIBUTABLE COST What it costs to make Materials, conversion and the supply that serves it. ALLOCATED COST What it costs to serve Freight, handling and overhead, allocated by rule. OPERATING PROFIT What it earns Profit before the REVENUEWhat it bringsNet price, volume andmix on each orderline.ATTRIBUTABLE COSTWhat it costs tomakeMaterials, conversionand the supply thatserves it.ALLOCATED COSTWhat it costs toserveFreight, handling andoverhead, allocated byrule.OPERATING PROFITWhat it earnsProfit before the costof capital, by orderand customer.CAPITAL CHARGEWhat it ties upCapital held for theorder, charged at itscost.ECONOMIC PROFITWhat it is worthProfit after thecapital charge: theenterprise currency.
Each step rolls up by order line, customer and legal entity, so the enterprise number and the order that moved it are the same arithmetic.
Trace every order

See which customer orders a late supplier lot puts at risk.

Every order is traced to the supply that serves it: through purchased material, production and packaging to the customer line it lands on.

When a supplier commits less, or later, the consequences are visible before the change is accepted: which orders slip, and what that does to service and profit.

Questions it answers

The questions finance and operations ask, answered from the same numbers.

Which customers earn their capital?

Economic profit by customer and product, not revenue or margin alone.
⇢

What does a pull-in really cost?

Overtime, freight and the inventory it ties up, set against what the order earns.
⊕

Who gets scarce supply?

Allocation and order promising by enterprise value, inside the service commitments already made.
∑

What will the plan deliver?

Forecasted revenue, profit and cash flow straight from the plan, before the quarter starts.

Forecasted financials

The plan's revenue, profit and cash, before the quarter starts.

Every plan VYAN produces carries its financial consequence: revenue, gross and operating profit, and cash flow, by month.

Finance reviews the same numbers operations will execute, so the operating plan and the financial plan stop being two documents that disagree.

Three ways to see profitability

Profit by order before the decision, not by product line after the close.
