Cost forecasting for every cost center.
Forecasting controllable operating costs at fine granularity, replacing a spreadsheet process that reached only a fraction of the business.
Forecast operating costs
7% of cost centers
100% of cost centers
A spreadsheet that couldn't scale to the business
A Fortune 100 supermajor needed to forecast controllable operating costs across the business, cost center by cost center. The existing process was a manual spreadsheet exercise, and by its nature it could only stretch to cover a small fraction of the company's cost centers. Everything outside that fraction was effectively unforecast - a blind spot in planning at a scale most companies never have to reckon with.
Forecasting at the granularity the business runs at
NEXUS was built to forecast controllable operating costs for every cost center individually, not just the handful that a manual process could realistically reach. That meant matching the fine-grained structure the business actually runs on, so forecasts could roll up to any level finance needed without losing the detail underneath.
From a fraction to the whole business
100%
of cost centers forecast, up from 7%
Coverage went from 7% of cost centers to all of them. What used to be a manual exercise reaching a small slice of the business now runs across every cost center, at the same granularity finance already plans against.
No more blind spots in the plan.
When every cost center has a forecast instead of a handful, finance can see the whole business instead of guessing at the rest. That's tighter budgeting, faster variance detection, and planning decisions made with the full picture instead of a 7% sample of it.
