Intercompany Management Use Cases by Category
Group Profitability
Key performance indicators for group profitability
Calculate consolidated contribution margin as well as your consolidated gross margin on product level. Provide validated margin and production costs on product and material level.
Simulation and forecasting on product level
Conduct ad-hoc scenario analysis on product level, for example when new tariffs are announced or a geopolitical situation has changed. Simulations help you detect cost drivers early and take action – such as price adjustments or recipe simplifications – before profitability is affected. You can also simulate product cost scenarios and their timely impact, such as currency fluctuations or rising raw material prices, across your global value chain.
Supply Chain Risk Management
Identify critical dependencies within your global value chain (“Which products cannot be produced if raw material A is not available?”). As a result you can optimize for bottleneck production lines as well as the supplier portfolio.
Simulation of emission optimizations and its impact on group profitability
Simulate what-if scenarios. For example, If you reduce emissions or switch to greener inputs, how does that affect your margins? EXA Global Value Chain helps you simulate the financial impact of sustainability measures across the entire value chain.
360° Reporting
Achieve complete transparency at any stage of the E2E value chain at the most granular level and benefit from a 360° product and material-plant view, reflecting all steps of the supply chain.
Simulation of cost development on product and product group level.
Enable group controlling to gain insights into the cost drivers and performance of each end product and product group, allowing to optimize the product portfolio performance according to the company’s overall targets.
Management Steering
Performance management on local, regional and global level to manage growth through transparent profitability KPIs.
Inventory consolidation and optimization
Obtain detailed reporting on global inventory levels with a breakdown into special stock types such as stock in transit, work in progress, accompanied by local, consolidated valuation and IC profit.
Master Data Harmonization
Effectively manage E2E value chains even in non-harmonized system landscapes by automatically establishing IC relations, identified directly from your ERP data. EXA GVC is able to automatically map non-harmonized master data and entire organizational structures across systems to eliminate “broken value chains”.
Sustainability Reporting
Determine environmental footprint on product level, considering emissions of raw materials, production- and logistical aspects along the global value chain.

Group Consolidation
IC profit elemination
Calculate consolidated cost component split at planned and actual levels and at the material-plant level as a basis for IC profit elimination. EXA Global Value Chain offers the data granularity to support company specific consolidation methodologies.
Simulation of cost development and revenue per product group
Perform group profitability analysis for every product and product group to understand what contributes to profits and losses, identify each product’s individual impact, and thus optimize your overall portfolio performance.
Validated and approved transfer prices
EXA Intercompany Management Software does not require manual modeling. It derives the value chain directly from the ERP transactions—exactly as they were booked. This ensures that what you see is the real, system-based value chain, including historical data. One of the benefits are validated transfer prices to determine the profit shares per legal entity.
