Product Profitability System™

For a superior profitability measurement process

Institutions with well-implemented product profitability measurement systems enjoy many benefits such as:

• Better pricing decisions
• Objective basis for comparing products
• Better framework for evaluating product features
• Equitable basis for measurement performance in incentive-based compensation plans
• Comprehensive unit cost data that are essential to a valid and accurate customer profitability system

Product Profitability System (PPS) responds to these needs and more by providing you with a powerful set of tools for accurately evaluating profitability at the product level. In addition to orienting performance measurement techniques to products and services, PPS integrates the concepts of management accounting in profitability measurement by applying activity-based costing techniques to create meaningful unit costs.

The PPS: rational, equitable evaluation

As a result, product managers are able to understand what costs are associated with the creation and delivery of specific products and activities compared to their revenue, but also appreciate what expenditures should be for a defined volume level. This approach forms a more rational and equitable basis for evaluation of product performance as well as that of the managers responsible for them. With the addition of PPS, your profitability measurement process provides you with a clearer picture than ever.

The next step in your profitability measurement process

Many institutions choose to implement product profitability measurement as a "next step" from organizational profitability measurement. However, the design of PPS and the integration of unit costing allow both product profitability measurement and spending variance analysis at the profit center level. This flexibility enables you to implement PPS independently or in conjunction with other Fiserv profitability measurement process applications.
