Your Allocation Model.

Customer Profitability
Assign indirect costs to customers to understand profitability beyond revenue and direct expenses.
Product & Service Costing
Build a more complete view of product and service costs by allocating overhead and shared expenses.
Intercompany Allocations
Allocate common costs across legal entities with consistent, transparent rules and drivers.
Fully Loaded Cost Analysis
Trace costs through multiple allocation stages to understand the full cost of departments, functions, or operations.
Planning & Scenario Modeling
Model how different allocation assumptions affect budgets, forecasts, and alternative business scenarios.
And that’s just the starting point.
These are examples, not limits. Whether your allocation process is familiar, highly specialized, or still evolving, Prism gives you the tools to design it your way.

Nothing you don’t.
