Case Study: CESCE achieves precise cost tracing and clear profitability insights with SAS Cost and Profitability Management

Get more precision and detail on costs and business processes

CESCE, a Spain‑headquartered leader in integrated commercial risk management with operations in more than a dozen countries and 18 companies, needed greater precision in tracking and justifying costs to support global growth and meet regulatory allocation requirements. Faced with the fallout of an international economic crisis, the company sought to avoid cross‑subsidizing, improve budget control and gain reliable insight into the true cost and profitability of its products and processes.

By implementing SAS Cost and Profitability Management, CESCE can trace costs to activities, products, channels and countries at a granular level, consolidate disparate data sources and run scenario simulations. The solution delivered clearer profitability by line of business, stronger budget control and operational efficiency, empowered decision‑making with trustworthy analytics, improved client and channel management—and exceeded the project’s initial goals as a foundation for a regulated, shared‑services global company.
