Sterna Business Positioning System™ (Sterna BPS) analytics applications provide a simple, intuitive, and interactive user interface that drives business managers to take action that is focused on maximizing the organization’s profits. One of the key features of Sterna BPS applications is the Money Surface™. Managers use the Money Surface™ as an alerting mechanism to understand when and where action needs to be taken, what form it should take, and what its financial impact will be.
| | Through the use of mathematical models, Sterna BPS calculates, in real time, financial gains or losses as a result of every operational activity. Gains and losses are both displayed on the Money Surface™ so that managers can instantly understand areas of the business that are exceeding targets and those that are incurring losses, with a clear call for corrective action. The Money Surface™ is therefore a “Money Search Engine” for the business. |

The VP Sales of a US-based global manufacturer of consumer goods products uses the Gross Sales Business View to assess his predicted financial results for the current quarter. Sterna BPS calculates a predicted sales figure of $211.92M for the quarter, below the quarter’s target of $218.48M. The Money Surface™ alerts the VP Sales that he stands to lose an opportunity to sale over $15M by the end of the quarter; in less than 30 seconds of further investigation, he understands that the order fulfillment levels of one of his factories in France is the major negative contributor to the Gross Sales Money Surface™. The low levels of order fulfillment are due to a greater than planned demand in France, upon which action is taken to ship goods from a particular factory in Italy whose inventory levels are sufficiently high relative to the expected demand in Italy.

The Money Surface™ can be “drilled into” in order to analyze the elements that contribute to the financial figures. These elements can be sorted, filtered and viewed by various dimensions; they can also be plotted graphically in various formats in order to support rapid and intuitive root cause analysis.

Sterna BPS focuses managers of all business communities on the financial impact of their operations, enabling effective and efficient performance management, driving the company’s business leaders to maximizing profits.
