P&L Simulation & Profit Optimization
EPA Solution
Automated P&L Simulation & Real-time Analysis

The Challenge: Before EPA

Separate Excel files per scenario

Each P&L scenario was stored in a separate Excel file, making it hard to maintain consistency

Manual factor adjustments for every scenario

Key factors such as price, FX, and labor costs had to be manually adjusted each time

Manual scenario comparison required significant effort

Comparing scenarios meant constant file checking and manual cross-referencing

No version control — frequent duplicate versions

Lack of version control created confusion over which file was the latest

Running one simulation could take up to 3h

Slow simulations bottlenecked the entire planning process

High manual workload and slow decision-making

Teams spent excessive time on data preparation instead of strategic analysis

Previous Workflow: Excel-Based Simulation

Cost ↑ FX ↓ Labor ↓
Scenario 2.xlsx
Cost ↓ FX ↓ Labor ↑
Scenario 3.xlsx
Cost ↓ FX ↑ Labor ↑
3h
Per simulation run

Separate Excel files and manual workflows create duplicate scenarios and slow decision-making

The Solution: After EPA

All scenarios compared side-by-side on a single web platform

No more switching between separate Excel files for comparison

Built-in version control cuts duplicate scenario creation by 60%

Automatic versioning eliminates confusion over which file is the latest

Simulation time drastically reduced from 3h to 15 min

12x faster simulations accelerate decision-making across the team

Users can enter and adjust simulation values directly online

No manual factor adjustments needed — instant parameter changes

Instant visual charts and tables for quick insights

Revenue & OER forecasts displayed through interactive visualizations

Estimated annual savings of $180K

Improved workflow significantly reduces manual overhead and operational costs
