Activity Based Costing Software
Doing many calculations is at the very heart of an ABC model. The complexity is beyond using spreadsheets but using ABC software designed for the task means model building and refreshing is easy and provides an audit trail to track the model’s logic. Develin & Partners is the exclusive distributor in the UK and Ireland of CostPerform the ABC software tool developed by qprCostControl BV, based in Holland. Details about CostPerform can be found on our software web site, www.costperform.co.uk. Some of CostPerform’s key features are: • Low cost. Prices start at £12,000 for standalone version with single user license. • It is easy to learn and use. Its intuitive actions give users early confidence. • With a maximum of 99 layers (such as ledger, resources, activities, products, customers, etc) the model can mirror how any type of organisation actually works. (Many other ABC software tools are limited to only 3 or 4 layers) • There are multiple calculation rules to allocate, distribute and aggregate costs from layer to layer and within layers that represent how costs are driven. • Pull and push calculations can be used in the same model. Pulling cost through a model is based on the latest developments in Time-Driven ABC which provide capacity forecasting and enhanced budgeting capabilities.
