Management Control - Pluservice

Management Control allows for having all the essential information in one place and enables the transformation of data present in management systems into useful information for decision-making. The procedure is integrated with Giove and other Pluservice applications, but it can be connected to any management software, utilizing the data it contains to provide interesting and useful information. The Management Control model proposed by Pluservice can enable transport companies to:

Continuously monitor the company’s economic and financial performance;
Anticipate warning signs and/or performance deterioration with the possibility of preventive corrective action.

The proposed management control model is based on a direct costing logic, following these main guidelines: The company will be divided into Business Areas (ASA) (Area A, Area B, Area C, ministerial lines, rentals, etc.) with an income statement consisting of:

Revenues directly attributable to them
Costs related to vehicles (valued at standard costs)
Costs directly attributable to the ASA.

With this technique, each business area will have its own income statement and can be interpreted as an independent economic entity.

ETL Procedures

The system is natively integrated with the Pluservice ERP and collects useful economic and quantitative data for analysis from various ERP areas. The system’s flexibility also allows for data acquisition from non-Pluservice software by creating specific ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) procedures.

Standard Cost Model

A standard cost is used for the hourly rate of traveling and workshop staff, as well as for the cost per kilometer of vehicles, to be applied both for budgeting and actual reporting activities.

Industrial Accounting

Industrial accounting is one of the main components of the management control system. Industrial accounting (or analytical accounting) allows for integrating knowledge derived from general accounting and relates to:

Predetermination
Recording
Allocation
Achievement
Control
Analysis
Demonstration of costs and revenues related to the service execution process.

Reclassified Statements

The company’s chart of accounts is reclassified from a management perspective by applying the concept of fixed and variable costs. In this way, it is possible to calculate the main profitability indicators (company break-even point, contribution margin by business area, etc.). The Pluservice management control procedure offers the most commonly used types of financial statement reclassifications (cost of goods sold analysis, value-added, production value) and allows users to create new ones.

Budget Management

The objective of the Pluservice budget is not just to make forecasts, but to provide reference parameters to:

Guide/calibrate the company’s management
Evaluate “performance”
Manage critical issues
Coordinate everyone’s contributions
Motivate staff

Corporate Reporting and Statistics

The system offers a set of standard reports divided by thematic area:

Administrative Area
Workshop Area
Ticketing Area
Operations Area
Payroll Area

Business Intelligence

For more advanced data analysis, the system uses the Pentaho Business Intelligence procedure.
