SOLUTIONS

Strategic outcomes.
In Finance’s hands.

Explore six connected use cases for financial modelling, simulation and decision intelligence.

01 / PROFITABILITY

Understand what drives your margin.

Explore profitability by customer, product, channel and region. Bring cost-to-serve into the picture and see where value is created.

CONSUMER PRODUCTSIllustrative model

What does this customer really earn?

Allocate distribution and service activities to a customer using their actual consumption.

Revenue€1,000,000
Product costs−€620,000
Distribution costs−€80,000
Customer service−€50,000
Customer profit€250,000 25% margin

Granular connects revenue, direct costs and activity-based allocations to a customer-level P&L.

02 / COST ALLOCATIONS

Follow every cost. Down to the detail.

Model granular cost and revenue flows across shared services, activities and recipients—with transparent drivers and traceable results.

Discuss your use case
SHARED SERVICESIllustrative model

Allocate €1.2m of IT costs.

Driver: active users across three business units.

Business unitUsersAllocated cost
Retail600€720,000
Wholesale300€360,000
Services100€120,000
Total1,000€1,200,000
Unit cost = €1,200,000 ÷ 1,000 users = €1,200 per user

Trace every recipient amount back to its driver and originating cost pool.

03 / TRANSFER PRICING

See your enterprise value chain.

Understand value flows across segments, divisions, entities and geographies. Explore intercompany models and their financial impact.

Discuss your use case
INTERCOMPANY SERVICESIllustrative model

Follow the value. Explain the charge.

ENTITY AShared-service provider
Cost-plus charge
ENTITY BService recipient
Service cost base€2,000,000
Illustrative markup: 5%€100,000
Intercompany charge€2,100,000

Model the cost base, markup and entity-level impact. Compare alternative pricing rules with complete calculation lineage.

04 / SIMULATION

Explore the impact before you act.

Change business conditions and see their effects across the finance model. Compare scenarios to make informed decisions.

Discuss your use case
MANUFACTURINGIllustrative model

What if energy costs rise?

Revenue: €100m · Baseline EBIT: €12.4m · Energy cost base: €2m. Other inputs held constant.

Baseline EBIT margin12.4%Scenario EBIT margin12.1%
Drag to explore the illustrative calculation.

Granular applies the changed assumption across the model to show the impact before Finance commits to a decision.

05 / GOAL SEEK

Start with a target. Explore the paths.

Set a financial goal and explore alternative cost and revenue flows that could move your business towards it.

Discuss your use case
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENTIllustrative model

Explore paths to a 15% EBIT margin.

CURRENT12.4%
TARGET15.0%

At €100m revenue, the target requires €2.6m of additional EBIT, assuming revenue remains constant.

Net pricing improvement+€1.1m
Procurement savings+€0.8m
Shared-service efficiency+€0.7m
Illustrative EBIT uplift+€2.6m

Granular proposes model alternatives and helps Finance simulate their assumptions and trade-offs.

06 / INSIGHTS

Build the model. Through conversation.

Build complex finance models through conversation. Granular’s specially trained AI proposes model options, helps define the rules and guides you towards deterministic financial results.

Discuss your use case
AI-ASSISTED MODEL CREATIONIllustrative conversation

Build the allocation model in chat.

Allocate our €1.2m IT cost pool to Retail, Wholesale and Services based on active users: 600, 300 and 100.

I propose a proportional driver-based allocation.

Retail: €720,000
Wholesale: €360,000
Services: €120,000

The rule is: cost pool × unit users ÷ total users. Would you like to review the model rules?

FROM CONVERSATION TO EXPLICIT RULES

AI proposes and helps build. The model calculates deterministically.
