Case Study: Rhodia Group improves profitability and capital efficiency with pVelocity

How pVelocity Helped Rhodia Increase Return on Capital Employed

Rhodia Group, a world leader in specialty chemicals, faced challenges in optimizing plant efficiency and improving profitability amid global competition. Their SAP system's standard costs no longer reflected actual material costs, making it difficult to model product and customer profitability. They needed an analytics application to integrate with their existing systems and provide better insight for managers, leading them to partner with vendor pVelocity.

pVelocity implemented its profitability and cost simulation software, which featured an open architecture that integrated with Rhodia's data warehouse. The solution provided graphical reporting tools and advanced simulation capabilities, enabling managers to react quickly to pricing issues and manage fluctuating raw material costs daily. The collaborative tools also facilitated cross-functional cooperation and sped up corrective actions for the company.
