"Optimize financial performance with strategic cost control and revenue maximization. Improve profitability while maintaining operational excellence."
At TCC-India Consulting, our Cost and Revenue Management service transforms this fundamental challenge. We provide an integrated framework that views cost reduction and revenue maximization as two sides of the same strategic coin. By deploying advanced techniques like Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB), Activity-Based Costing (ABC), and Price Waterfall Analysis, and integrating them with your core systems (SAP, Oracle, Tally, Busy, Microsoft Dynamics 365), we ensure every rupee spent and every rupee earned is strategically aligned to drive superior EBITDA and sustainable enterprise value.
Cost and Revenue Management (CRM) is the holistic, continuous practice of optimizing the financial health of an organization by strategically controlling expenditure while systematically maximizing the profitability of sales. It moves beyond traditional accounting to focus on economic value creation across the entire value chain.
Our approach unifies two interdependent strategic levers to achieve a single goal: Superior Profitability.
| Strategic Lever | Core Focus | Business Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Cost Management & Optimization | Systemic reduction of structural costs, elimination of waste, and precise allocation of overheads via ZBB and ABC. | Lower the structural Cost-to-Serve ratio and improve operational efficiency. |
| Revenue & Pricing Maximization | Setting prices based on Value-to-Customer, enforcing pricing guardrails, and eliminating revenue leakage across the sales lifecycle. | Maximize the Net Realized Price (NRP) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). |
| Unified Goal | Data Integrity & Strategic Clarity | Ensure capital is invested only in the most profitable activities for maximum ROI. |
TCC-India offers a fully integrated suite of services designed to attack complexity and inefficiency on both the cost and revenue fronts:
An integrated Cost and Revenue Management strategy delivers superior financial performance and unmatched competitive agility.
Systemic cost reduction combined with optimized pricing delivers a direct, double-impact improvement to your EBITDA margin.
ABC and ZBB provide clear insight into true profit drivers, enabling confident reinvestment in the most profitable products and highest-value customers.
Optimized working capital (inventory, receivables) and streamlined back-office processes (automated P2P/O2C) accelerate financial performance and strengthen cash position.
A lean, structurally efficient cost base provides flexibility to absorb market shocks or engage in strategic price competition when required.
Decisions move from historical averages to real-time, granular data, ensuring Finance, Sales, and Operations operate with a unified view of profitability.
Our execution is highly technical, utilizing proprietary methodologies and deep integration with your enterprise systems to ensure sustainable financial gains.
Integrating the Zero-Based Budgeting structure directly into the financial module of your ERP (SAP/Oracle/Dynamics 365 Finance), enabling automated tracking, commitment controls, and strict enforcement of approved spending limits.
Developing a multi-dimensional profitability model using data from local systems (Tally/Busy) and enterprise platforms to accurately allocate indirect costs and deliver real-time P&L views by product, customer, channel, and geography.
Forensically mapping every step from list price to cash receipt using transactional data to identify, quantify, and eliminate revenue leakage with a clear, actionable remediation roadmap.
Configuring CRM systems (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement) to enforce approved pricing logic and discount corridors, triggering automated approvals for out-of-policy deals and significantly reducing margin erosion.
Designing and implementing Sales Force Effectiveness programs that align incentives with profitable revenue (margin over volume) and leveraging CRM systems for disciplined, data-driven sales execution.
Connecting real-time operational data such as inventory levels and capacity utilization to the pricing engine, enabling precise, data-driven price adjustments based on true marginal cost.
We anticipate and solve the primary organizational and technical hurdles that prevent sustained cost and revenue excellence:
ERP-Driven Data Unification: Implementing a single source of truth for financial data by integrating local systems (Tally/Busy) with centralized ERPs (SAP/Dynamics 365) to enable a reliable, enterprise-wide Activity-Based Costing (ABC) model.
ZBB & Governance Integration: Integrating Zero-Based Budgeting directly into ERP financial controls to enforce the optimized cost structure through system-driven mandates rather than manual policy enforcement.
Unified Profitability Dashboards: Implementing trusted, shared dashboards that clearly communicate true cost-adjusted profitability for every customer and deal, aligning Sales and Finance around value-based decisions.
Automated Price Waterfall Audits: Deploying recurring, automated analysis of discounts and rebates against target prices to expose leakage and enforce automated pricing guardrails within CRM and ERP systems.
ABC & CLV Segmentation: Leveraging Activity-Based Costing to calculate true Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) based on actual cost-to-serve, ensuring sales efforts focus on the most profitable and high-value accounts.
