Challenge

After the first acquisition, the add-on had to go into the monthly pack for the sponsor. But platform and add-on calculated EBITDA differently.

The pack was built by hand and took 15 working days. How well the figures fitted together was hard to check.

02

Solution with Arc

Arc sets up platform and add-on on one shared EBITDA definition, straight from the postings of all ten entities.

The monthly sponsor pack is produced from it every month in the same format.

03

Result

The monthly pack is now ready after eight instead of 15 working days.

Aligning the definitions brought a €1.1m EBITDA difference to light that was not visible before.
